Well i just got finished watching about 50 of these fab rats video's. what a fun family! thanks for the fun! It reminds me of wrenching with my brother in law back in the 60's and 70's. My first car was 1964 chevy nova SS convertable . i would ride people to high school in it and everyone would sign the top. i ended up blowing a piston in it and sold the car for $35. i have had 3 more 64 nova's since then. I just love old cars. again thanks for all the fun!

@rednexpeditionoffroad3702 2 года назад

This might come in handy, when bending offsets in conduit, I have a cheat sheet of multipliers I use based on degrees of bend. Bend deg Multiplier 10. 6 22.5. 2.6 30. 2 45. 1.4 60. 1.2

@dr.floridaman4805 2 года назад

Does that change with the size of the EMT?

@rednexpeditionoffroad3702 2 года назад

Nope

@haroldphipps3457 2 года назад

@Dr. Florida Man it will change with the bend radius. The zippedy doo dah way is to get the program for that. Calibrate your dies, then you can hit your number every time. Had a feller with it on his laptop when we bent some expensive S.S. tube for a platform on back of a boat. Otherwise, we did it like Paul.

@rednexpeditionoffroad3702 2 года назад

On conduit, the bend radius changes on different sizes of pipe but the multipliers stay the same. Example radius for a 90 bend in 3/4 emt is 6 inches, but radius for the same bend in 3 inch emt is 24 inches, but the multipliers remain the same for offsets. You are limited by the radius on the larger pipes, forcing you to use less deg and therefore longer offsets.

Here's a little trick I use when fabing something and need to figure out an angle you might find helpful. Simply take a piece of heavy gage copper wire and bend it to fit where your piece needs to go. Then get the angle from the bent copper wire and cut away. Takes a lot of the guesswork out and a lot of recutting. Enjoy your videos, especially the Golden Nugget. Jim
