Bendline support
Questions, a number that looks wrong, or a bender we should add: email sanghuynhxuan@gmail.com. Please include the bend type, conduit, bender and the numbers you entered.
Which mark on the bender?
Blue blocks go on the arrow, rust on the rim notch, violet on the star, dark grey on the front edge of the hook or the shoe center. "Rotate 180°" means roll the conduit half a turn before that bend.
Decal, Precise and Exact
Decal uses the multiplier and shrink printed on the bender. Precise uses the shoe's centerline radius from your bender profile. Exact is plain trigonometry with no radius, for checking by hand. Tap "Show the math" on any result to see every step. Saved sheets keep the math they were made with.
Entering numbers
Type inches, tap the feet key for feet, then add fractions: 1/4 then 1/8 makes 3/8. Hold delete to clear.
Calibrate your bender
Pro: Benders, pick your bender, Copy as my bender, then Calibrate gain. Bend a 90 in a scrap with the end flush to the front of the shoe, measure both legs, and Bendline works out the gain.
Using the level
Lay the phone flat on the conduit, long edge along the pipe, tap Zero on a flat surface first. The screen turns green at the stop angle, which already includes the springback you set for that bender.
Printing a bend sheet
Open the sheet, tap Print, and choose Letter paper. Share PDF sends the same page. Copy as text is for a quick message.
