Has anyone used Master Bender conduit bending app for iPhone?

[trocken]

I saw this online and the math used is much more precise than the cosecant method for bending
conduit. Has anyone used it?


I saw this reference article on precision;

http://www.electrician2.com/electa1/offset.html

might be too much math for electricians??

perswonally i find that a hilmor bender is easier to bend the conduit. don't think an iphone can stand the stress.

no cause my phone just rings and texts... but interesting

 

[alarm man]

is it free might be worth a look,tho i need an iphone first..

Nope, along with my built in app between my ears I use a pencil and measuring tape.

Just checked the link out a degree in Maths is an advantage.ill stick withmy hilmor.wouldnt fancy bending 4" conduit tho?ooof!

Have you tried a 4 point saddle and solve it in 20 seconds???

This is an American set-up, so don't use the conduit dimensions , they are very different to our metric sizes, or come to that, our old imperial sizes!! They have always used internal dimensions where we have always used the external dimensions of conduit.

Most of their bending machines are powered either electrically or hand hydraulically. They tend not to like doing anything by pure man power...lol!!

The program permits you to put your own tool in for bending. So it makes no difference whether
it is metric or American standard trade sizes. I have never seen a small practical electric bender for
small size conduit-it is usually bent by hand!!!

What a total load of excrement. Learn to bend conduit by doing it.
OK I’m a fossil!

 

[mackers]

is this for real!
LOL

Well, your not in the USA are you!! lol!! ...They thread and bend virtually everything from 3/4'' upwards by machines...

Guaranteed there is not a decent spark in the country that needs that nonsense to bend a conduit. By the time you would work that lot out there wouldn't be alot of pipe installed.

Agreed, ...Take it from me, the Yank sparks wouldn't find that nonsense helpful either, and they use conduit containment far, far more than you do in the UK... ....It's like their T&E!! lol!!...

Just looked at the app store and they want £2.49 for the app. It's not even worth buying for entertainment purposes.
