I'm adding a sub-panel on the 1st floor to clean up all the old circuits that run from the basement to the 1st floor. 1 1/4" EMT. I'd like to connect at the panel with a 90el but I'd need to cut one leg of the 90 to fit under the joists. The cut line looks like it's close to the bend radius so I might not be able to seat a set screw connector properly. Should I just hit the easy button and use a short piece of greenfield? See pics.
Greenfield or cut 90 elbow to connect to panel

That doesn't look like it would go square in the fitting in the panel. Could you run a SER cable instead of conduit?

If you can cut it and still properly install the connector I would skip the FMC.

Can't you shorten the horizontal run so that the el comes down the side of the panel then use an LB into the panel side?
