How to Cut and Bend Rebar

Create rebar design using simple tools

[@bdlsjubon]

Don't confuse circumference with diameter

[@toddbrown9457]

Some good usable information provided here. Thanks for the video

[@jrandall5736]

A 1” circumference pipe would only be about 5/16 diameter. A #4 (1/2”) rebar would not fit into it.

Best idea so far thanks!!

Cool video looks like you do good work. Do yourself a favor and buy a demo saw if you have to make more than 10 cuts like that a week. I’ve went from cutting like that to expensive electro hydraulic cutters and now it’s just demo saw. Everyone uses a demo saw

You should use 2 pieces of pipe instead of using your foot to hold the rebar

You could save yourself a lot of effort (and money) by using an angle grinder or attaching a cutting disk to a circular saw to make your cuts, rather than using an expensive bolt cutter and maybe hurting your back in the process.

Thanks for the tips

So now I know I can bend a ½” diameter rebar rod using an anchor and leverage.

simple but effective

That's a bloody hard way to mesh a trench footing. Can you not buy different width trench mesh over there? When I have to do a wall footing or trench I just buy either, 3 or 4 bar width and if need to be boxed I just buy the appropriate stirrups

awesome thanks

Diameter, not circumference, and you keep saying you will cut the pipe, not the rebar.

[@Lichele69]

Is there a burr at the end of the cut?

[@shivamnaik8166]

what diameter rebar are you using?

[@shaunwilking]

Why dont you use a demo say to cut?

[@Lichele69]

Will cement stick to it?

[@jessejames541]

good shit didn't think about anchor and bolts.

[@tonyalfaro1]

You are just doing more work without the right tools. That bolt cutters is definitely making you work more

[@JulioGonzalez-rf9ey]

do that with a #5 rebart and then we talk!
