The First Press

The first press must be made here, and not at the very end (where the mark is. Trust me. If you don't, you won't be able to easily press at this position, because the pipe will have a "slope" leading down to the pressed end and it may slide around.

All these photos are from making struts from 1/2" EMT. When you do it with 3/4" EMT the press may not be wide enough to crush both edges. So, you'll need to raise the press a bit, slide it over and crush one edge, and repeat for the other edge.
