Any tips for bending rigid?

[zappy]

I'm pretty good with EMT, but rigid not really. I'm watching, and I'm thinking there's no way this guy's going to spin that piece on. And he always proves me wrong! Practice, practice, practice! Thanks guys!

Stub 90's are your friends.
Also, in many cases cutting and threading
before bending will save some time and hassle.
Esspecially when someone else is already using
the bender.

The first thing I do with a new bender is get too know it.
cut a 3' piece of what ever you are running, mark it at 2", and using a pencil and a level find your true exact 90, and Sharpe that mark.

Then measure the 90 and make sure your deduct is what it should be.
and measure the 90 the other way and figure your gain.
