You work out where the bend has to end up before you make it, because a bender does not know what you meant.
A bend that is an inch off is scrap, or worse, it is installed an inch off and everything downstream is fought into place around it.
The word that matters is consistent. A bender makes a bend relative to a mark, and the mark means something only if you know which point on the bend it refers to and you use the same one every time. Change reference point halfway through a run and every measurement after it is off by the same amount, in the same direction, invisibly.
Check yourself: You know the bend needs to be 90 degrees. Is that enough to start bending?
Answer: No. Mark the required finished location before making the bend.
The angle is only half the answer. Where the finished bend has to sit decides where the mark goes, and the mark is what the bender works from.
