An electric bar cutting machine in 32 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm capacities for clean, fast TMT and MS bar cuts on construction sites — stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, price on request.
A bar cutting machine (also called a rebar cutter or steel bar cutter) is an electrically powered construction machine that shears TMT reinforcement bars and MS round bars to precise lengths in a single clean cut. A flywheel-driven eccentric mechanism drives a moving blade against a fixed blade with enormous mechanical force — far more force than any hand hacksaw, angle grinder or manual cutter can deliver on bars above 16 mm diameter.
On a construction site, the bar cutting machine and the bar bending machine are the two essential rebar processing tools. They work in sequence: bars are cut to the BBS (bar bending schedule) length first, then passed to the bending machine for angle forming. In a production rebar yard supplying multiple floors of a building or a bridge deck, a well-run pair of operators on a cutting and bending set can process several tonnes of TMT per day.
Multi Trade Combines stocks bar cutting machines at 32 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm capacity ratings from our AT Road, Guwahati counter. The 32 mm model handles the majority of building construction bars; the 40 mm and 50 mm models suit heavy civil infrastructure — highway bridges, large retaining walls and pile caps using thick reinforcement.

The bar cutting machine is the first step in rebar processing. It pairs directly with:
Bar cutting machines are designed for round bars — primarily TMT reinforcement bars and mild steel round bars. They can cut MS round bars up to the rated diameter cleanly. Cutting flat bars, angles or channels is generally not recommended — the blade geometry and the fixed-jaw mechanism are optimised for round sections. For structural steel angles and flats, a cold saw, metal bandsaw or angle grinder with a cutting disc is the appropriate tool. If you have mixed cutting requirements, discuss your specific sections with our counter team before selecting a machine.
Blade life depends heavily on bar grade and diameter. On standard Fe-500 TMT bars of 16–20 mm diameter in moderate production (50–100 cuts per shift), the hardened steel blades typically last several weeks of daily use before the cutting edge shows wear. Higher-grade bars (Fe-550D, CRS rebar) wear blades faster. A sharp blade produces a clean shear cut with minimal burr; a worn blade causes the machine to jam or produce a ragged cut. We stock replacement blades for the machines we supply — ask our counter team about the blade part number for your model.
