Electrical Trade Advice, How to do an Offset with EMT Conduit the Right way; Thoughts? #electrician

What happens here

Once the conduit is properly positioned, begin to apply steady and controlled downward pressure on the handle of the conduit bender. For manual benders, you often place your foot on the bender's foot pedal to stabilize it and gain additional leverage, as demonstrated in the video. Continue to bend the conduit until the desired angle is achieved. The video shows the conduit being bent to approximately a 90-degree angle.

Goal: Achieve the desired bend angle in the conduit.
