greetings forum,
Im in a bit of a bind. I'm trying to bend 2"emt with our greenlee 555 "tombstone" bender and we keep kinking the pipe as it goes around the shoe. The bender originally had the rigid shoe group and we just purchased the emt shoe group for the 555 classic. I was told by the people at greenlee, the 555 classic is the same as the greenlee 555.
The new shoe group installed perfectly, everything looks square and exactly like the drawings in the instruction manual, yet it kinks the pipe everytime when the shoe gets to about 25 to 27 degrees.
Attached are pictures of the shoe group as installed as well as the picture of the pipe kinking.
If anyone see's something I'm missing please reach out.
