Great app; definitely a lot more intuitive than other conduit bending apps! Only reason for the 4/5 stars is because you can't enter numerical input very easily for higher numbers (hate having to press "+5" 15 times just to get a single input of 75)
I rarely pay for apps unless it's just something I have to have, so I was hesitant to say the least. But after the first stick of emt I used with this app (which was a 6in rolling offset to a 90 with another 3 inch offset not to mention the box offsets) this app was flawless...
This is a useful app, but still need to improve, like the "Press and Slide" to choose your rise roll. It would be quicker if we just punch in the numbers. Beside that, I do not have much to complain.
Plenty of information. Very thorough. That problem is the very 1st measurement I used off this app according to its bend marks on a simple 1 1/2" offset on 854 smart bender were off. Ugly pipe bend. Had to do way too much work on top of the bend to make it work. This leads me to believe that most minimum distances between bends on benders have not been field tested. This was supposed to save me time, but now I'm back to my manual methods.
The app works great, I was a bit hesitant to buy it at first, but it soon made me a believer. We all know that the deducts of older side winders or on any bender fades over time, this app has them all down and it has the travel measurements too!.. it also works if you have no signal.
This is by far the best app I have ever used for bending pipe. Super helpful when needing multiple bends with a cut/thread mark for rigid. The fact that it is fractionally accurate is incredible. BEST APP PURCHASE EVER!
quick and easy... like your mom 🤫 I recommend this app to anyone in a trade that requires you to bend conduit frequently. saves time and that saves money. wish it had options for conduit larger than 1" though.
I've tried 3 or 4 different bending apps. This is by far the best. It's a great reference for those things I haven't done often, and to make sure I'm understanding the Ugly's book when it comes to figuring out where my marks go. Thanks much. -4th year AW LU 176
It's been useful to an extent so far, I don't concern myself with offsets & such as that however but mostly downloaded the app for segmented 90s & I had a tank that had a nominal diameter of 338inches & when I divide by 2 to get the radius it's too high , the app only goes up to 120" radius max unless there's something I'm missing? Using standard greenlee smart bender but wish they could remove the cap. My coworker has the same app ,looks slightly different & doesn't have the cap why ?
I'm an industrial electrician, I haven't had to make a segmented or consecutive bend before. I had a stick of 1" RMC and need a 180° bend 26" diameter at a height of 2'. I set up a greenlee 555 for the job and tested the bend on a stick of 3/4 IMC as a test "Didn't have many 1" sticks". Needless to say I forgot to switch to 3/4 for the greenlee so my deduct was 2" off. But the diameter was great.
