What happens here

Take the conduit bender and position the conduit so that the center mark aligns precisely with the bender's arrow (also known as the 'star' or 'center of the shoe'). Apply steady pressure to the handle of the bender, using your foot to secure the conduit, to create a 45-degree bend. The goal is to achieve the peak of the saddle bend. Observe the bend to ensure it's smooth and at the correct angle. The video shows the bender being used to apply pressure to create this bend.

Goal: Create the central 45-degree bend for the saddle.
