I usually do the bend and cut method, because it really is faster and
EMT is cheap. Look how much time you are already cooking doing research
and exploring various apps, etc? I too have wanted to be the cool pro,
and bend to exact measurements, but alas, the sun is setting much sooner
now, and I need to get the job done. Also, I recently picked up a nifty
reamer attachment that chucks up in a cordless drill and finishes the
cut end nicely. Between that and my porta band saw, the bend and cut
method is faster and the finished job is just as good. Actually I just
switched to Metal Clad 6-3 for my PV runs, and it seems better as well.
I look forward to hearing what other more accomplished conduit smiths
have to offer, though.

Colleagues:
I am always trying to improve my conduit bending skills. I came upon
this scenario and need some input:
I am bending stubs at less than 90 degrees. How do I calculate stub
heights at less than 90 degrees? I am using the old
bend-it-longer-and-cut-it-to-length method but that does not suit my
personal style. I want to make a mark, bend from it and have it fit.
I have searched on line and purchased several IOS apps for conduit
bending. None of my research has turned up an answer.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
