What happens here
After successfully creating the bend, release the pressure on the bender and carefully remove the now-bent conduit. It's important to visually inspect the bend for several key factors: check for smoothness (no wrinkles or kinks), accuracy of the angle, and ensure there's no crimping or flattening that could impede the passage of electrical wires. If the bend is significantly off, it's often best to discard the piece and start with new conduit, as trying to correct major errors can compromise the conduit's integrity.
Goal: Verify the quality and accuracy of the bend.
