SDS-Plus Rebar Cutters
ITM SDS-Plus rebar cutters and punchers for cutting steel rebar while drilling concrete. Sizes from 3/8" to 1-1/2" in 8", 12" and 18" lengths, for an SDS-Plus rotary hammer.
Choosing an SDS-Plus rebar cutter
Anyone drilling concrete for anchors or dowels will eventually hit rebar. SDS-Plus rebar cutters and punchers are made to go through the steel instead of stopping the job. The range is ITM, with both Rebar Cutter and Rebar Puncher listings from 3/8" to 1-1/2" in diameter, in 8", 12" and 18" lengths.
Drilling tips
Use an SDS-Plus rotary hammer with hammer action on. Hold the tool straight, use a steady feed and do not lean on it. Cutting steel is slower than cutting concrete. Back out now and then to clear dust and metal.
Choose the diameter for the hole you need and a length that clears the full depth. Confirm with the drawings or the engineer before you cut structural rebar, because a hole that crosses bars can weaken a slab or beam. For larger holes, see SDS-Max rebar cutters.
