Knowledge is power! This is a good video. The best and easiest to understand workbook which can be used by anyone to become an accomplished conduit, tube or pipe bender can be found on a youtube website at /t04041951

What model bender is that?

[ivorbiggass]

the one i used in the vids was a cheap and nasty one that was bought in by the college. Hilmor or record are the best in my opinion. Ive had by Hilmor for years

We students talk about your videos at College Bryan as they are that useful to us.

[ivorbiggass]

Thanks for the feedback. Much apreciated

why is it 150mm from end of pipe to centre?

[ivorbiggass]

@ogdoad4

No reason mate. 150mm was just a measurement I picked at random to give an example.

[ogdoad4]

@ivorbiggass so you can mark off any measurement from the fixed point?

[ivorbiggass]

@ogdoad4 Yes. If you try to go much less than 100mm though then there are problems fitting it in the machine. The solution to this would be to bend it further along and cut off the excess. This would not be possible of course if it was in the middle of a series of bends.

Chrislemin. Thanks for the comment. As it is a difficult job keeping young students from falling asleep anyway, I would not recommend the soothing music unless accompanied by sticking pins in them to keep them awake :)

I intend selling the books for a small price as a PDF download as I have had to give up full time work due to family issues and need the dosh.

Great videos Bryan. They could do with some smooth Jazz or something to relax to while you learn lol. Only joking. I will link to these from our VLE here at *%£@@@*& college.

One comment, you give the vids for free, why not the handbook?

I am loving your work and got a couple of tips I hadn't learned before. Thanks for posting them.

Ok thank you, the camera angle when you put the set square in the former was hard on the eye to tell whether you lined up the first line or second line, you did clearly say the second mark but i just wanted to double check. Thanks again and looking forward to your upcoming videos.

[wils35]

So does the set square need to line up with the 150mm marking or the 142.5mm arrowed marking? Thanks

[ivorbiggass]

the set square lines with the arrow which is 1/2 of 1 pipe diameter short of the 150mm mark (in this case 7.5mm). Off course, if the size of tube was 22mm then the arrow would be marked 11mm back

@ivorbiggass Thanks for the video, what is the purpose of the second mark which is half the pipe width size?

Thanks for uploading this video, Good stuff.
