Reinforcing steel bars boost the tensile strength of masonry and concrete structures, making them essential to modern construction projects. For optimum performance, they need to be cut and sized to suit a project’s specific requirements. Cutting them manually is time-consuming and doesn’t guarantee precision, making it necessary to use an advanced reo cutter.
At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we offer the right tools to help you cut rebar precisely and quickly. Our rebar cutters allow you to preserve the structure’s integrity with correctly cut and sized steel bars. Plus, they increase safety in your worksite and reduce the waste and rework that can result from incorrectly processed steel bars.
That said, you also need to know how to use it efficiently. In this blog, we will explain how to use our reo cutters to increase precision and prevent you from making costly mistakes.
Choose an appropriate rebar cutter
What size of steel bars are you working on? At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we carry electric reo cutters for 4-16mm, 6-32mm, 4-25mm, and 4-20mm. Ensuring the right tool for the size of your reinforcing steel bars increases precision and cutting speed.
The basics
It doesn’t take long to learn to use a RAPIDTOOL reo cutter that’s designed for ease of use and intuitive functionality. We also provide an easy-to-follow user manual with every tool. Our electric rebar cutters, such as ERC-16, can cut 4-16mm steel bars in around 2 seconds. All it takes is pushing the trigger while you hold the ergonomic rebar cutter.
Our rebar cutters have an industrial-strength machine head driven by a precise hydraulic pump. This pump is powered by a powerful single-phase motor rated at 220-240V, with 1200W or 1550W of power. If you need more power for thicker steel bars, we recommend ERC-32A. This electric reo cutter can cut 6-32mm steel bars in approx. 4 seconds with a 3000W motor.
Wear the right PPE
Our rebar cutters operate without sparks to increase safety. However, we still recommend wearing appropriate protective equipment, such as safety goggles, sturdy work boots, and cut-resistant work gloves. This ensures your compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. Our reo cutters also come with a safety guard to prevent accidents.
