ELECTRIC OR HYDRAULIC REBAR CUTTER: WHICH IS BETTER?
Rebar cutting is a precision operation which has no leeway to go wrong. During construction, sticking to the design by the engineer is extremely important – which makes it equally important to use rebars exactly as depicted in the drawings. The real issue arises when the workers have to decide between using electric or hydraulic rebar cutters. While both get the job done well, there is the concern for accuracy which confuses them. So, electric or hydraulic rebar cutter: which is better? Read on for some insights. Electric rebar cutters The first selling point of electric rebar cutters is that they are fast, but up to what extent. If your design requires cutting of many bars and the project is rushed, you will do better with an electric rebar cutter. These cutters are also known for a smooth cut finish. This allows for achieving high accuracy in construction as per the engineer’s design. Since the rate of cutting is high, one can expect a reduction in the man-hours the worker
