The Apprentice Does His 1st Proper Box Offset! Electrician Dad Teaches Son Conduit Bending Tips⚡️

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Stand up with the conduit bender, placing your full body weight on the handle. Apply downward pressure to make a small, controlled backward bend in the conduit. The goal is to create a slight angle, just enough to begin the offset. The video shows the apprentice creating a bend slightly past what might be considered too little, indicating that a small but definite bend is needed.

Goal: Create the initial bend for the conduit offset.

Tools and materials
