yeah but we're British, We don't accept sub-standards like wot the colonials do.I am amazed that we haven't adopted EMT which can be cut with a pipe slice, bent over a block and coupled with fittings that use a grub screw. NO faffing about with threading.
We really haven't moved with the times with conduits imo ,
We did, much of the 50's wiring was done with very thin walled tube welded, or sometimes still split, too thin to thread; the bends, tees, boxes etc were clamped to the tube.I am amazed that we haven't adopted EMT which can be cut with a pipe slice, bent over a block and coupled with fittings that use a grub screw.

Yep, how long does it take to cut conduit with a hacksaw seconds too, the new breed are just lazy.Perhaps it's an age/training thing, but the moment I see conduit being cut with a grinder....
The video gets stopped, or I walk away shaking my head from side to side vowing to get a professional company in on the next job...
No lube ??all you need is a bundle of conduit, bender, hacksaw, stock and dies.
He's the engineering type anyway - made a tonne of money with oil drilling in places foreign, now in retirement with a large workshop.... etc.Hope the client is prepared for a grave yard full of scrap metal conduit.
IMO this skill has to be taught, one to one, remember some guy telling me on here its only labourers work anyway.
The only tip I can give is when pulling sets leave plenty of length on the tube then cut to required measurement until gained confidence and mastered, I know it might be a bit wasteful on the tube, but better than having a complete wasted length.
