Reinforcing steel bars are standard materials in modern construction, particularly for concrete structures. They help reinforce buildings, bridges, and other projects, making them durable and long-lasting. However, these bars must be shaped and cut to specific sizes for optimum results. A reo cutter with a built-in rebar bender can help with that.
Two-in-one rebar cutting and bending tools simplify trimming tough steel bars and bending them to correct angles. They save you time by eliminating the need to switch between different tools. Plus, they reduce the effort to cut and bend rebar, thanks to their powerful motors and hydraulics. High-quality industrial strength models can cut and bend bars in seconds.
Keep reading as this article looks closer at how reo cutters with a built-in bender can maximise construction efficiency to bring more value to your projects.
Designed for the toughest construction sites
Depending on the model, an industrial-strength rebar cutter and bender combo unit can cut and bend steel bars within specific size ranges, such as 4-25mm and 6-32mm. This eliminates the need to buy multiple tools.
The best models can often cut steel bars and bend them to 90 degrees in 2.5 seconds with a powerful single-phase 220-240V AC—500 Hz electric motor, which has 1050W of bender power input and 1550W of cutter power input. If you need a more powerful unit, look for an electric motor with 2400W of bender power and 3000W of cutter power.
Reliable performance
A reo cutter and bender unit ensures accurate and controlled operations to avoid costly mistakes. It can bend steel bars from zero to 180 degrees or more using the fixed 80mm/105mm bending pin diameters. Some manufacturers can supply custom sizes for a more versatile unit.
User-friendly operation
Manually cutting and bending steel bars is not only harrowing — these tasks are also prone to human errors that could cost your project a lot of money down the road. You won't have to worry when using a reo cutter and bender combo unit because it does these things with precision without heavy manual labour. Additionally, these units have foot pedals for effortless operation.
