How to Cut and Bend Rebar
Sharing buttons:
good morning for those of you are
watching it this morning we're gonna do
tutorial how to bend and cut rebar with
conventional tools this is for the
smaller sizes for more residential
projects today we'll be doing a number 4
rebar which is about a half inch
circumference and anything from that or
below can be done this method number
five may be questionable whether you can
get by like this so the things you're
gonna need a pipe would work just fine
this one's three feet long and one inch
in circumference but anything from three
to five feet would be easy to work with
and also the circumference should be
between one inch and three-quarters of
an inch
we're gonna use a bolt cutter to be
cutting the pipe and the longer the bolt
cutter the easier this is a 42 inch I
wouldn't go any less than 36 inches and
what we finally gonna do years we're
gonna show you what we're gonna do with
the tape measure is measure out our
distance and where we're gonna cut so I
want this pipe to be about 47 inches
long since the bend is gonna take a
little bit of distance to meet the
circumference because I want it 47 I'm
gonna mark one inch less at 46 and I'm
gonna run the pipe right along it right
to the line
and there we go so what you're going to
do next is stabilize the ball and pull
straight up
now for this specific design I want this
is going to be a stem bar that's gonna
go up a wall and then I want it to hook
into the foundation so I want that about
eight inches long so what I'll do here
is Mark out eight inches
and bring my bolt cutter to that area
here we're going to overview how to get
the bends a little bit more exact
you have your medium here and I held it
down into this pallet here as it's not
going to go anywhere with all that
weight have it screw down to the pallet
and I'm gonna put in about this 10 inch
screw into it so pre-drill at first so
you don't crack the wood and then put
these in and what you're going to do is
in this fashion offset so when you put
in the rebar you can set up how long or
how short you want to be able to bend
that rebar this four this is the number
four I wouldn't go any shorter than this

this case we have set up the rebar where
we want to bend it and we put the vibe
for leverage and control over the bend
and we do a straight pool tonight
right there
like so
