I remember a few months back a long discussion of people looking

I recall the general thread but wasn't it a particular one somewhat out
of the run-of-the-mill the OP was looking for????


Yeah, he wanted one that would work with 1/2 inch EMT (thin wall). All
he could find were for 1/2 inch ridged.

Not that it matters but wasn't it t'other way 'round? EMT is pretty
common; as noted the box stores have them...rigid, "not so much" any
more; they expect you to buy the prefab bends, etc., it seems...plus,
it's a lot more work to bend even 1/2" rigid...

looking for diversion while waiting... )
