Description

Is that three bend saddle at the end of the pipe? Dont you wish you could flip the bender around to make the bend easier? My Bender has your back. One of the key features is My Benders ability to allow you to orient the bender to make your bending more practical, just tap on the bender to flip the orientation of the bender. My Bender, offers the most accurate conduit bending calculations on the App Store. How? Because My Bender uses "your" bender, with its unique bending characteristics to do the math. Most other calculators use the cosecant method which is simply an approximation, or a rule of thumb. But as pipe size and bend angle increase in size, the error introduced with the approximation also increases. This is because the benders radius and pipe diameter are not taken into consideration, this is not the case with My Bender. Currently My Bender can calculate: -Offsets with predetermined locations on the conduit. -Match an existing offsets angle. -Three Bend saddles that fit like a glove. -Four Bend saddles that "look like they grew there". -Kicked 90° Bend that will make your heart skip a beat. -Calculate the distance from your benchmark to the center of bend for any angle. There are other conduit bending calculators on the App store, but none have the polish and attention to detail that My Bender has. My Bender allows you to "flip" the orientation of the bender to best suit practical bending, and then shows you the correct measurement for the benders current orientation. My Bender helps the professional electrician keep track of all the conduit benders he uses. As you know every bender has its own bending characteristics. In order to account for these differences in benders it is necessary to have a log book where the benders details are kept. Add your own: - Hand Benders - "Chicago" Benders - 555 Benders - Cyclone Benders - Smart Benders - Table Benders My Bender not only keeps track of your benders, it also calculates some very important characteristics: -Take up (aka Deduct) for a 90° bend -Gain on a 90 degree bend -Centerline bending radius How does My Bender calculate this? Everything is based on the centerline bending radius. This is calculated by bending one 90° bend and making some key measurements. You select the pipe size and material. And that is all it takes for My Bender to "fingerprint" your bender. Every key measurement also has a description page that uses diagrams to help you visualize the measurement.

Works!

DarkStar Electric · 13 years ago · v2.3.2

Very helpful after 3+ years of not bending pipe!

Great app!

Star1013 · 12 years ago · v2.3.4

I found this app very useful! Very accurate once all bender info is submitted. Better than many other apps which use just one generic formula for all conduit sizes...

Nothing is preloaded...

Concerned Customer23 · 11 years ago · v2.3.4

I dont want to calibrate every hand bender or clock bender I use. I want to grab a Greenlee 555 bender and know the center of bends, not waste 10 of pipe to "calibrate it". I think the calibration is a neat feature but factory bender settings should be preloaded. Only a Ideal half inch bender comes preloaded. Most manufactures of hand benders provide the centerline radius. Most clock benders have the radius printed on the shoe. I know every bender is slightly different but at least preload some basic values. Given the centerline radius and size of pipe I can calculate the gain myself. The take up is usually printed right on the bender.

Hope this app helps you keep track of your benders, and it should eliminate the need to make practice bends to find the center of bends for certain angles. Just remember to be precise with your measurements when adding a new bender. This is because the measurements are used to calculate the benders radius and all other important bender characteristics.

Great app!

Four bend saddle missing. Otherwise 5 stars!

Great App

Had it for a while. Never used it because I am use to using ibend pipe. Now that I have had a chance to use my bender, wow!! Once again another great app!
