Does aluminum or cast head bender make a difference in bending conduit? I have an app that gives the option to select aluminum or cast when figuring bends.. just wondering if this really matters as well as the type of bender. I have an Ideal and Benfield I got used, the app asks what brand of bender as well. Thanks

There is a difference in benders

There is a difference in benders

The desired markings are all the same but where and how the individual shoes bends, grabs and holds the pipe per different shoes is just that. On angles less than ninety degrees, a thirty and forty five degree bend the handle are physically a different angle, verse each other when bending the desired angle. I believe the Benfield is different than the Greenlee benders.

Enter the bender name into your app.
