It took me years to master the block pipe bender and about 30mins to master a pipe bender....IMO hire the pipe bender.Vice and bender as above isnt really necessary, years before vice and benders became popular skilled sparks could with practice use blocks of wood with drilled holes in them to pipe bend and curves could also be done with care just by standing on the tube and gradually putting a bend into it.
good luck

Our local wholesaler has a pipe bender which they will hire out to contractors who do not own one.

Sure you want Galv Conduit in your kitchen?! Ah, just thought, maybe its a commercial kitchen??
Not the ones I have used, they are just a round die with 2 half ovals cut out of the side for the stock to hold it. There is usually a guide on the bottom too.do these dies stocks and dies you guys use not have the slit and the three pre drilled blind holes that allow grub screws to open and close the die to allow a rough cutting and finishing grade.
That is how we were taught to do it as apprentices, plenty of swarfega. Once the thread is deep enough, unscrew the die, pop it on the other way around and finish the threadAlso, make every effort to break the swarf, so every half turn forward, back the die holder back round a quarter, the chip breaks kick in and remove the swarf, and it lets whatever you are using for cutting compound seep forward and lubricate the cutting heads on the die.
