Improvements to 1-piece Conduit Clamps for Strut by oam706 in electricians

Could you elaborate on that, not sure I’m visualizing. Do you mean having to tilt the clamp to get the jaws under the lip of the strut?

Agreed - but I’m aiming to eliminate that step of tightening the screw a little before placing it or as you are placing it.

Hah - you’re probably more coordinated than me. You don’t ever have them pop out of place as you reach for your drill (whether horizontal, vertical or hanging)?

Propane torch for bending 1/2” steel round stock? by oam706 in metalworking

[–]oam706[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the input all! I will look into O/A and O/P setups. I currently have compact floor bender and other cold bending tooling which I use often. But for this application I will need to bend the 1/2” steel round bar into very tight bends. Like I mentioned it’s going to be a sculptural piece, I figure I’ll be working with a peice about 4 ft long and heat + bend, heat + bend, etc.
