- Worth noticing
- The page lists 34 benders across eight manufacturers and 400 shoe-and-conduit combinations, with custom entries for unlisted tools.
Field notes
The homepage describes a workflow that starts with the actual bender and shoe, using their radius and deduct rather than a generic chart. Its examples include multiple bends laid out from one end of a stick, rack layouts for mixed conduit sizes, and warnings when a bend may overlap or leave too little material for the shoe. The page also says measurements accept fractional inches or feet-and-inches, and can switch to centimeters.
