Note: Because electrical conduit varies somewhat from
lot to lot in size, material composition, hardness,
wall thickness, etc..., a general-purpose bend
angle scale cannot be established with any great
precision. Preparatory to doing any precision
bending, it is recommended that a trial bend be
made on each lot of conduit to establish a
correction value to be made to the bend angle
scale. The precise angle can then be marked on
the bending shoe at the leading edge of the
roller plate.
Maintenance of the Mini-Eegor™ Bender
Aside from conventional care of the hydraulic
components, very little maintenance of the Mini-Eegor™
bender is required. Removing sand and dirt from
grooves and moving parts will extend the bender life
and facilitate ease of operation. Lubricate rollers, when
needed, with molybdenum disulfide paste only (such as
Dow Corning’s Molykote No. G-n paste, or equivalent).
Note:
Graphite formulations are not equivalent lubrication.

16. To remove bent conduit from the Mini-Eegor™
upon completion of the bend, retract the cylinder
plunger, pull out the follow bar, and lift out the pipe (see
Figure 14).
Make sure follow bar doesn’t slide forward during
retraction.
Note: Removal of bent pipe may be easier if the
U-strap is first removed. Just pull the pin.
17. Offsets or other more complicated bends may
justify lifting off the top aluminum load arm and the
top roller plate before removing the pipe. Then,
just swivel the shoe away from the pipe for
easiest removal.
