Any one know how to cut in an external right angle into trunking? A diagram with cut lines would be ideal! Thanks

not ridiculous at all, if someone hasn't had to cut a bend before and wants to know how its done why shouldn't they ask?

Because it highlights the difference between apprentice trained and Electrical Trainee.
What a showing up, asking something as simple as that.
What sort of calibre of sparks are out there these days?

ones that are told to use prefab bends as its what the client specifies even though there more expensive

I didn't learn to do it as part of my apprenticeship, we rarely used real trunking and when we did we used prefab fittings.
The first time I had to make my own I just applied a bit of common sense and the basic metalworking skills I learned from my grandad.

Agreed, I learnt to do bends on site, and we all need a refresher sometimes
