Rebar Cutter and bender machines – Electric, Hydraulic, price
Picture casting a concrete structure with steel formwork — foundation, columns or slabs. Rebar is the lifeblood of the structure and must be prepared fast and precisely. A rebar cutter (rebar cutting machine) is the beating heart of every construction site: clean, fast cuts and bends that multiply reinforcement productivity and guarantee safety.
At Alborz Ghaleb, with more than two decades of manufacturing rebar cutters, bender-cutters and formwork equipment, we deliver durable, economical machines. This guide walks you from machine types to buying tips, prices, maintenance and standards.

Instant price quoteWhat Is a Rebar Cutter and Why Is It Essential?
A rebar cutting machine is a specialised tool for cutting (and on 2-in-1 models, bending) steel reinforcement bars. With mechanical, hydraulic or rotary mechanisms it replaces risky, slow, wasteful manual methods such as angle grinders and hand saws.
- Speed: a cut takes seconds — on a 1,500 m² project, reinforcement prep dropped from 10 days to 4;
- Precision: clean, uniform cuts minimise waste and errors;
- Safety: ergonomic design, emergency stop, blade guard;
- Flexibility: plain and deformed bars from Ø6 to Ø50 mm;
- Economy: 2-in-1 bender-cutters save money and floor space;
- Less labour: automation cuts dependence on manual crews.
🔹 Real case: on a bridge project, a hydraulic cutter slicing Ø32 bars cut preparation time by 40% and visibly reduced labour costs.
How does a hydraulic rebar cutter work?
A hydraulic rebar cutter is a powerful machine driven by a hydraulic system: a hydraulic pump generates force and transfers it to a hydraulic cylinder (jack). The cylinder moves the swing arm and the cutting blade; the moving blade travels towards the fixed blade until the bar is sheared cleanly.
Hydraulic cutters are generally used for larger-diameter bars and thick steel strips, in construction yards, metal workshops and industrial plants. They move faster than manual shears and cut more accurately than purely mechanical ones, making them the right choice for heavy, long-duration work. Adjustable cutting force also lets one machine handle different steel thicknesses.
Types of Rebar Cutters — Which One Fits Your Job?
1) Manual cutters — budget choice for small work
Long-lever hand tools for thin bars up to Ø12–16 mm. Cheap, portable (5–15 kg), no power needed — but slow (~30 s per cut) and physically demanding.
2) Electric (gearbox) cutters — speed for mid-size workshops
Electric motor + gearbox in single-phase (220 V) and three-phase (380 V) versions; cuts up to Ø40 mm at 3–5 seconds per cut (up to 32 cuts/min). Heavier (200–500 kg) and need mains power. Our range: single-phase, three-phase, two-wheel and four-wheel mobile models up to Ø32.
3) Hydraulic cutters — power for big projects
Pump + hydraulic cylinder up to 700 bar drives the moving blade; cuts up to Ø50 mm with low noise, no sparks, excellent precision and long life. Our AG-50 performs up to 1,000 precise cuts a day on tower projects.
4) 2-in-1 hydraulic bender-cutters — multi-purpose
Cut + bend up to 90° in one machine; ideal for complex reinforcement. Saves money and space; requires a trained operator. Models: 25 and 32 (side-bend).
5) Rotary (abrasive) cutters — cheap but limited
Spinning blade, low cost and fast — but high waste, low precision, not standard for professional work.
| Type | Max bar | Cut speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | Ø12–16 mm | ~30 s | small no-power jobs |
| Electric 1-phase | Ø32 mm | 3–5 s | small/medium urban sites |
| Electric 3-phase | Ø40 mm | 3–5 s | continuous industrial work |
| Hydraulic | Ø50 mm | 2–4 s | mass housing, bridges, tunnels |
| 2-in-1 bender-cutter | Ø25–32 mm | 3–5 s | complex reinforcement |
What Drives the Rebar Cutter Price?
- Mechanism: hydraulic above electric; electric above manual;
- Cutting capacity: a Ø50 machine costs more than a Ø28 one;
- Single vs three-phase: industrial three-phase motors cost more;
- Component grade: carbon-steel blades, standard motors, robust chassis, quality pumps;
- Warranty & service: we provide 6–12-month warranty and 10-year service.
What does a bender-cutter's price depend on?
There are several methods for cutting and bending ribbed rebar for reinforcement work, and each has its own dedicated tool. The price of a bending-cutting machine depends on the quality of the components used in the body, pump, jack and so on; the cheapest options are always the manual bar bender and manual cutter.
The machine type is the main pricing factor: given yearly inflation, prices differ greatly between manual, electric-mechanical and hydraulic machines. A hydraulic unit costs more than a mechanical one, and a mechanical one more than a manual tool. Whether the motor is single-phase or three-phase is another major price driver.
How Alborz Ghaleb Builds Its Cutters
Production runs in six steps: engineering design per customer need → material selection (alloy-steel blades and body, standard motors) → cutting & welding → assembly (motor, hydraulic pump, industrial wheels, control panel) → quality control (heavy-load cut tests up to Ø50) → anti-rust painting & packing.
Main components
- Blade: alloy steel 50×50×20 or 60×60×25 mm with carbon facing — the heart of the machine, re-sharpenable, 4 cutting edges;
- Fixed & moving jaws: hold and guide the bar;
- Motor: 3 HP, 1,400 rpm (single/three-phase);
- Hydraulic pump: up to 700 bar on hydraulic models;
- Chassis & wheels: robust body, two/four industrial wheels;
- Control panel: safe operation and motor protection.
💡 Blade and pump quality extend machine life to 10 years.
The Electric 32 2-in-1 Bender-Cutter: Iran's Best-Selling Machine
The electric 32 2-in-1 rebar machine is one of the most popular cutting machines on the market. It both cuts and bends rebar and is produced in different power ratings for construction and industrial workshops. The hydraulic version is a true bestseller: powered by a hydraulic drive, it cuts and bends all bar types and ships in two models — single-phase hydraulic and three-phase hydraulic. Its key advantages over older manual tools are dramatically higher productivity and better accuracy.
Production speed
For production sites that do not need extreme speed, this series is a cost-effective, capable option — and thanks to its fair price it is the most widely used class on the market. It cuts and bends faster than legacy machines, comes with after-sales service and warranty, and ships to every region.
Cutter blades
The machine uses steel blades for smooth, easy cutting and a 3 HP single- or three-phase motor, with a strong hydraulic jack, side bending and reinforcement cutting capability. Known also as the "bend-and-cut shear", it is one of the construction industry's essential machines. Blades are replaceable and re-sharpenable; each blade has 4 cutting edges and can be rotated for multiple lives.
Choosing among cutter types
Most construction companies buy several models matched to their needs — today the market offers side-bending machines, top-bending machines and stirrup-bender cutters, all widely used in building construction and concrete structures. Power supply is single- or three-phase mains; some market models are still manual, where the worker swings a lever arm to cut or bend. On large projects such as tower construction or industrial structures that demand speed and precision, electric and hydraulic machines are irreplaceable.
Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Safety
Care schedule for a 10-year life
- Daily: clean blades, oil joints, check bolts;
- Weekly: sharpen blade, check hydraulic oil, test safety systems;
- Monthly: angle calibration, oil filter change, electrical insulation check;
- Every 6 months: motor inspection, hydraulic hoses (oil leaks), greasing;
- Storage: dry environment away from rain and humidity.
Quick troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Crooked cut | dull blade / wrong gap | sharpen blade / adjust gap |
| Unusual noise | low oil / worn bearing | lubricate / replace bearing |
| Power loss | hydraulic pressure drop / weak motor | check pump / check power & motor |
Safety essentials
- PPE: goggles, cut-proof gloves, safety boots, ear protection;
- Before work: inspect cables/hoses/blade, level floor, clear area;
- During work: hands away from blade, bar perpendicular, full focus;
- After work: power off, clean, fit blade guard. Operators must be trained — free training comes with every purchase.
