BendCraft Pro is a professional conduit bending and electrical calculator built for electricians — on the pole, in the panel, or in the truck. No subscription. No ads. No accounts. Buy it once, own it forever. BENDING CALCULATORS — all 10 types • Offset • Stub-Up (90°) • Kick • Three-Point Saddle • Four-Point Saddle • Rolling Offset • Parallel Offset (with gang-bending mode) • Concentric Bends • Segment Bends • Compound Bends Every calculator shows a live diagram and a step-by-step bend order alongside the numbers, so you know exactly where to mark and in what sequence — not just a number on a screen. ELECTRICAL CALCULATORS • Voltage Drop — checks your run against the NEC 3% guideline and suggests the smallest conductor size that holds • Conduit Fill — NEC Chapter 9 fill percentage across multiple cable groups, pass/fail at a glance YOUR BENDER, BUILT IN Choose from 11 real bender models — Greenlee and Klein — with centerline radius sourced directly from each manufacturer's own published specs. Pick yours and skip the tape measure, or measure your own bender once and save it forever. Live feasibility feedback shows exactly how much room you have before you commit to a mark — an actual margin, not just pass/fail. Pin your most-used benders as favorites for one-tap access next time. PROJECTS — ONE PDF PER JOB Save any calculation to a project as you work through a job. When you're done, export a single combined PDF covering every calculation — no more juggling separate exports for one job. Need to hand off a number without your phone? Generate a QR code with a plain-text summary anyone can scan. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Fraction or decimal input — whichever you actually use • One-tap PDF export to share a result with your foreman or crew • Flashlight and digital level, built in — one less app to carry • Works completely offline — every calculation runs on your device PRIVACY, DONE RIGHT No data collected. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Full stop. BendCraft Pro is an independent tool for electricians. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Greenlee, Klein Tools, Ideal Industries, or the NFPA. All calculations are estimates — always verify against your bender's markings and NEC 2026 (NFPA 70) before cutting or installing.

BendSource

BendSource turns supported EMT layouts into tape-ready fractional marks while keeping the formula, bender value, rounding rule, and source visible. CALCULATE SUPPORTED EMT BENDS • Offset bends with spacing and shrink • 90° stub-ups and back-to-back 90s • 3-point saddles using sourced 45° and 60° center-angle methods TAPE-READY MARK SHEETS See numbered M1–Mn positions, bend references, spacing, and rounded inch fractions in one place. Choose the rounding increment used for the displayed marks. CHECK THE METHOD Open Formula Mode to review the substituted values, unrounded result, preset provenance, manufacturer document, cited pages, and applicability notes. USE YOUR BENDER VALUE For supported 90° methods, you can save a take-up value read from your own bender or manual. User-entered values remain clearly labeled Check Bender and are never presented as manufacturer presets. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Core calculations, saved Mark Sheets, and user presets stay on your device. BendSource has no account, ads, analytics SDK, or subscription. SCOPE Version 1 supports 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch EMT for the bend methods shown in the app. A calculated result confirms the math and selected inputs; it does not claim a physical bend, jobsite conditions, or a specific bender has been field verified. Offset calculations and the source catalog are free. One Lifetime Unlock enables the other supported calculators, saved Mark Sheets, and user presets.
