RC-22 Portable Electro-Hydraulic Rebar Cutter
The RC-22 rebar cutter is a professional electro-hydraulic cutting tool with a durable cast iron body, designed for contractors, rebar fabricators and distributors who need to cut reinforcing steel up to #7 (22 mm / 7/8 in.).
COMPACT POWER FOR PROFESSIONAL REBAR CUTTING
The RC-22 portable electro-hydraulic rebar cutter is designed for professional cutting of reinforcing steel up to #7 / 22 mm, with a cutting time of approximately 3.5 seconds. Its compact construction combines hydraulic cutting force with portability for efficient work on construction sites, reinforcement fabrication and infrastructure projects.
Built for repeated jobsite use, the RC-22 features a durable cast iron body, replaceable cutting blades and an integrated electro-hydraulic system that provides controlled and reliable cutting without the abrasive cutting process used by conventional cut-off tools.
#7 / 22 mm Capacity
Professional cutting capability for reinforcing steel up to 7/8 in. (22 mm), suitable for common construction and reinforcement applications.
Electro-Hydraulic Cutting
Hydraulic cutting force delivers controlled, consistent rebar cutting without relying on abrasive cutting wheels.
Durable Cast Iron Body
Robust cast iron construction provides strength and stability for repeated cutting tasks in demanding professional jobsite applications.
Portable Jobsite Design
Compact dimensions and an integrated carrying handle make the RC-22 easier to transport between reinforcement and construction work areas.
BUILT AROUND A PROFESSIONAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Every major component of the RC-22 is engineered for structural strength, reliable hydraulic performance and professional jobsite use. Its durable cast iron construction combines an ergonomic carry handle, rigid cutting-head support, an integrated electro-hydraulic system and reinforced motor protection in one compact professional platform.
COMPACT ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC ARCHITECTURE
Engineered around a durable cast iron structure and integrated electro-hydraulic system for reliable rebar cutting.
Ergonomic Carry Handle
The integrated carry handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for carrying, positioning and handling the cutter during professional jobsite operation.
Durable Cast Iron Housing
The cast iron housing provides rigid structural support around the cutting assembly for repeated professional rebar cutting operations.
Integrated Hydraulic Cylinder
The integrated hydraulic cylinder delivers controlled cutting force through the electro-hydraulic system for consistent professional rebar cutting.
Integrated Hydraulic Pump System
The integrated hydraulic pump system supplies stable pressure to the cutting mechanism for smooth and dependable operation.
Reinforced Motor Protection
The reinforced motor housing protects the drive unit and supports reliable operation during demanding professional jobsite use.
BUILT TO CUT #7 REBAR
The RC-22 is designed for professional cutting of reinforcing steel up to 22 mm / 7/8 in. / #7 rebar, making it suitable for everyday reinforcement work across construction, fabrication and infrastructure projects.
Actual cutting performance depends on rebar material, tensile strength, blade condition and operating environment. Always follow the product manual and specified material limits.
Construction
On-site cutting of reinforcing steel for reinforced concrete structures and general building work.
Rebar Fabrication
Portable cutting for reinforcement preparation, prefabrication and steel processing workflows.
Infrastructure
Suitable for reinforcement work in bridges, foundations, civil engineering and infrastructure construction.
Bridge Engineering
Professional reinforcement tools for bridge construction and large-scale infrastructure projects.
Need a larger cutting capacity? Compare RC-22 with RC-16, RC-20, RC-25 and RC-32 to select the right cutter for your rebar size and application.
COMPARE REBAR CUTTERSIS THE RC-22 RIGHT FOR YOU?
The RC-22 is best matched to professional users who need #7 / 22 mm cutting capacity and prefer the strength and stability of a cast iron body. Use the checklist below to decide whether this corded electro-hydraulic cutter fits your application.
Choose the RC-22 if you need:
- Maximum rebar diameter up to #7 / 22 mm / 7/8 in.
- Approximately 3.5-second cutting speed for repeated cutting work
- A durable cast iron body for strength and operational stability
- A corded electro-hydraulic cutting system
- 110 V or 220 V power options for different markets
- Replaceable cutting blades and serviceable components
Your application needs more capacity or cordless operation
- You mainly cut rebar up to #5 or #6 — a smaller cutter may be more efficient
- You prioritize lower weight for the same #7 / 22 mm capacity — compare an aircraft aluminum model
- You routinely cut reinforcing steel larger than 22 mm / #7
- You need cordless operation for jobsite mobility
- Your main priority is the lightest possible portable cutter
- You are unsure which cutter body or capacity best matches your application
RC-22 VS OTHER REBAR CUTTERS
Select the model by the largest rebar diameter you expect to cut and whether your application requires corded or cordless operation.
| Model | Max. Capacity | Construction / Type | Cutting / Power | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RC-22This Model | #7 / 22 mm | Cast Iron | Approx. 3.5 sec | Users who need #7 / 22 mm capacity with durable cast iron construction |
| RC-20 | #6 / 20 mm | Cast Iron | Approx. 3 sec | Users whose normal work is limited to #6 / 20 mm rebar |
| PC-22 | #7 / 22 mm | Aircraft Aluminum | Portable corded | Users who want the same #7 / 22 mm capacity in a lighter aluminum platform |
| PC-25 | #8 / 25 mm | Aircraft Aluminum | Higher capacity | Users who need to cut rebar larger than #7 / 22 mm |
Selection rule: choose the RC-22 when #7 / 22 mm capacity is required and a robust cast iron body is a priority. Choose a lighter aluminum model when portability is more important, or move to a larger-capacity cutter when your normal rebar diameter exceeds 22 mm.
