Yeah I had already watched the 2nd one when previously researching. The first one....I'm just not cool enough to wear a semi-trench coat when hanging out around rotating machinery

True....I've done this before in a press brake w flat bar to form pipe clamps...always meant to try it in a bender.You could always segment bend them. Surprisingly smooth if you do the bends in small increments. After you get one figured out it's not bad.
That's how I've been bending conduit for a long time. A Greenlee 777 and bending table is the best tool for the job. 7 shots of 13* bends, the radius would take about 38" of pipe.You could always segment bend them.

Shit I've done it on a 555. And I built a domed fire pit cover at home doing the same thing on my pro tools model 105. Once I did one the others went pretty easy.That's how I've been bending conduit for a long time.

OP is bending 2-1/2", tight squeeze on a 555.Shit I've done it on a 555. And I built a domed fire pit cover at home doing the same thing on my pro tools model 105. Once I did one the others went pretty easy.
