I'm using a Greenlee 555 and want to know how I would mark my pipe to make back of bend marks at 22.5, 30, 45 and 90.

Thanks!

Because I don't do a lot of bending I've used the app that @Terminator5047 references, it has listed the greenlee 555 (brain doesn't retain all the math as good anymore so I cheat by using an app). The app has always given me good point references to get nice offsets, 3 and 4 point bends, and kicks, for most any size conduit I've used.

if I understood your question correctly I could easily help you, as I run our company’s prefab department and do all our conduit bending that is larger than 1”

are you looking for the distance from the center of bend to the point where the conduit flattens out ?

Kind of like when using a hand bender when you can add marks to the bender for back of bend for different angles. For example, if I need to go from a box 30" to a point where I need to make a 45 degree bend, using a hand bender I would mark my conduit at 30" and place the mark on the 45 degree back of bend mark. How would you do this using a Greenlee 555?

I think he wants a actual back of bend mark for a 90°, not a center of 45...
Whether he wants to make a mark on the shoe or just mark pipe,im not sure...

I think so to he can find Cob and measure to front of shoe and move his mark that way to get the cob to hit where he wants

In my example I would want the back of my bend to be 30" from the end of my pipe. I want to bend the conduit at 45 degrees. How would I mark my conduit when using the 555?
