My Bender - Professional Conduit Bending Calculator

Is that three-bend saddle at the end of the pipe?
Wish you could flip the bender around to make the bend easier?

With My Bender, you can.

One of My Bender’s standout features is the ability to flip the orientation of the bender during calculations. Just tap the bender to reverse its orientation and My Bender automatically updates the measurements for practical, real-world bending.

Built Around Your Bender

My Bender delivers some of the most accurate conduit bending calculations on the App Store because it doesn’t rely on generic “rule of thumb” multipliers.

Instead, My Bender uses the actual bending characteristics of your bender to perform calculations.

Most conduit calculators use the cosecant method - an approximation that ignores centerline bending radius and pipe diameter. As bend angles and conduit sizes increase, those errors become more noticeable.

My Bender is different.

Every calculation is based on your bender’s measured centerline radius and real-world geometry, producing more accurate and repeatable bends.

Calculate:

* Offsets with predetermined conduit locations
* Three-bend saddles
* Four-bend saddles
* Kicked 90° bends
* Distance from benchmark to center of bend for any angle

Designed for Real Electricians

My Bender was built with practical conduit bending in mind.

Unlike other apps, My Bender lets you flip the bender orientation to match the way you actually want to bend the conduit - then automatically displays the correct measurements for that orientation.

The app is polished, fast, and designed to feel like a tool you’d actually want to use in the field.

Keep Track of All Your Benders

Every conduit bender has its own characteristics. My Bender helps you keep track of them all in one place.

Add your own:

* Hand Benders
* Chicago Benders
* 555 Benders
* Cyclone Benders
* Smart Benders
* Table Benders

My Bender Calculates Important Bender Characteristics:

* Take-Up (Deduct) for 90° bends
* Gain on 90° bends
* Centerline bending radius

How It Works

Everything starts with the centerline bending radius.

Simply bend one 90°, take a few key measurements, select the conduit size and material, and My Bender effectively “fingerprints” your bender for future calculations.

Every measurement includes detailed descriptions and diagrams to help visualize exactly what needs to be measured.

Version History What's New in Version 4.3

+ Bends have been reorganized on the main screen.
+ Rolled offset calculations have been added.
+ Previews of the Bend marks have been added to main views.
+ Conduit Bending book recommendations. 4.3 Jul 5 Version 4.2.3

90° bend calculation is "finally" here. 4.2.3 Jun 23 Version 4.2.2:

The error screens for compound 90 around a corner object were updated to make it clear why a bend might be invalid.
Bend marks were added to the compound 90 input screens to show why a bend might be invalid.
Slider input now jumps in 1/4" steps vs. 1/16" steps. This will allow faster entry and minimize the number o 1/16" button taps. 4.2.2 Jun 15 Version 4.2.1 - Fixes a bug where if you change the bender from a calculation screen, the new bender's properties were not being used to calculate results. 4.2.1 Jun 10 Version 4.2 allows you to save your bends. Save a bend with a tap of a button, and access it from the main screen. This saves time for repeated bends or for reference at a future date. Unlimited amount of bends and swipe to delete when you no longer need them. 4.2 Jun 9 This version introduces error screens that explain why your bend turned red. This version also has an updated calculation for fitting an offset between 2 points. You can now position the bend within the bend area, with a "=" button that will center the bend within the bend area. 4.1 Jun 5 What’s New in This Version

My Bender has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

Every screen in the app was rewritten using modern SwiftData architecture for improved performance, reliability, and future expansion.

This update also introduces live bend previews throughout the app. As you enter measurements, the conduit bend now updates in real time on screen, giving you immediate visual feedback instead of relying on static images.

My Bender can now also detect impossible or impractical bends and will alert you when a bend cannot physically be made, helping prevent mistakes before you get to the job site.

Additional improvements include:

* Faster and smoother navigation
* Improved bend calculation engine
* Modernized interface across the entire app
* More responsive input handling
* Improved overall stability and accuracy 4.0 May 23 New Calculation - Compound 90° Bend around a Rectangular Obstruction in a Corner 3.7 05/10/2018 Bug Fix for 3.6:
Step Four Bend Saddle - Radius was set to constant value during testing. Radius has been reset to match the bender used in actual calculations. 3.6.1 04/09/2018 New in Version 3.6 :
- Exclusive New Calculation - Stepped 4 Bend Saddle - Use this when you have an obstacle to go over but you need a different height on the other side. Sure you could also do two offset calculations, but now you can do it on one screen.

- New bender images that allow more customization 3.6 04/08/2018 +New Feature:
Center of bend calculation for any angle, measured from your benchmark.

+Various Bug Fixes 3.5 02/27/2018 Match Offset Calculation Added.
- Measure the center to center distance and height of existing offset, My Bender will calculate the bend angle.

Don't know how to find the center of an existing bend?
-There is step by step guide in the help section to find the center of a bend. 3.4 01/16/2018 New summary view of the measurements used to create your bender.
The measurements are easier to read.

Bug resolved: Distance from benchmark to start of bend was not updating correctly, affecting bend results. 3.3 01/08/2018 Polishing the bender table view 3.2 01/06/2018 Kicked 90 calculation has been added.
Killed a couple of bugs with updating the current bender choice.
Updated UI. 3.1 01/05/2018 The app has been completely rewritten to work on today's iOS version. 3.0 01/02/2018 -Fixed critical bug that would cause app crash when adding a new bender for first time. 2.3.4 10/15/2012 Fixed a bug where the Distance to Center of Bend (in the useful info tab) would change when a description view was shown and then hidden. Thanks John S. 2.3.3 05/22/2012 -fixed bug that would not accept correct field measurements 2.3.2 07/15/2011 -fixed bug that caused image for 4-bend saddle in table view to not show 2.3.1 04/29/2011 -Added 4 point saddle calculation

-Fixed bug where saving a bender with no name caused bender to be unusable.

-I would love to hear some feedback, drop me an email with your thoughts. 2.3 04/25/2011 -Fixed bug in previous release that displayed incorrect calculations. 2.2 03/03/2011 -Added 3-Bend Saddle Calculation -

Important. If you have not downloaded this version...please wait to download version 2.2 which fixes a critical bug in the offset and three bend calculation algorithm. 2.1 02/22/2011 My Bender now calculates conduit bends. Other apps use cosecant method which is an approximation, My Bender uses your bender to precisely predetermine bend locations.

-Calculate offset bends where the start of the bend is critical
-Calculate offset bends where the end of the bend is critical

-More updates coming soon (Three bend, and Four bend saddles) 2.0 02/07/2011 -Changed the minimum version of iOS to run app from 4.2 to 3.0. 1.2 12/16/2010
