Lttle kicker is ALWAYS MISSING!
Next method......
I have a filed knotch site line* for just shy of 22 1/2, (As I dont have 22 1/2 on my bender. Edge of conduit at the front of the hook of the hook on the bender, second bend is marked at the "A" (or is it "B", I don't pay attention anymore) for the front of the hook.
How did I come up with this.....
Trail and error on the site mark until right. And it dog legs less when the hook catches the slight bend at the back of the first bend. (After the bender wears in, a little oil helps)
Its a repeatable angle if you don't change you posture while making the bend.
Unfortunatly, mounting surfaces are not always flat.
Larger off-sets, I always use 30's (obsticale X 2) with my tape on the floor standing up for the distance to check. (Its a repeatable angle if you don't change you posture while making the bend.)
90's I thumb site the back, skip the take-off, (imagining the round back of the conduit) bend to the top of distance as it radius's past my tape. (Lots of practice, usually very acurate, and I don't do it where accuacy counts like racks on a trapeez)Check square on factory cut rock, or plywood, tile lines, etc.
Multiple bends all get marked the same, and get bent the same, at the same time. Layed out on the floor between the marks I shot with the lazer. The get all hung at once. Less up and downs on the ladder or scaffold.
I also have a few methods for 90's and off-sets that dont require a tape measure that are hard to explain in words.
