Hi all,
Been thinking about using 1/2" EMT conduit to make a rack to attach to the ROPS of my JD2305. Don't plan on using it for anything heavy or big, so metal conduit should be strong enough; however, I'm finding that fittings are a problem...they're more expensive than I thought, plus can't find things like normal elbows & tees. So, I bought a 1/2" EMT conduit bender, and it will bend the conduit 90 degrees with a 5" radius.
But, now I'm wondering; are there any tips or tricks to bend the conduit tighter than a 5" radius? Also, if I want to make something resembling a ladder, is there a way to attach the rungs to the rails, since I can't find any conduit tees? I was thinking about using 1/2' metal pipe clamps?
Thanks,
Ray
