A machine and method for mechanically and simultaneously sizing and cutting multiple strands of flexible metallic conduit to desired lengths, and for facilitating the application of a fitting to either end of the respective resulting lengths, in which the conduit is simultaneously drawn, by a roller drive, from a number of rolls of same in parallel strands and is fed past a cutting station the conduit length desired, after which feeding of the conduit strands ceases and the conduit lengths are simultaneously severed from the row of strands by sawing. The machine includes a device for mechanically rotating the individual end fittings for the conduit length ends, whereby the machine operator can individually manipulate the individual conduit length ends to apply same to the device to permit the end fitting for same to be mechanically rotated into its fully seated position in the conduit end, and an attachment that permits the conduit wiring to be mechanically fed into same and cut off at the right length to complete the conduit assembly.
