Rod cutters RC-01 from MCC, Japan is a high-quality tool designed for efficient and safe cutting of concrete reinforcing steel rods. It is specifically engineered to meet REACH compliance standards, ensuring the use of safe and environmentally friendly materials.

One of the standout features of the RC-01 is its well-thought-out design, which enhances performance and extends the tool’s overall lifetime. The blades are made of special alloy carbon steel, which not only provides exceptional cutting ability but also undergoes advanced heat treatment technology.

This heat treatment process further enhances the durability and longevity of the blades, ensuring that the tool remains sharp and efficient throughout its service life. The RC-01 is available in two variants: RC-0113 and RC-0116. The RC-0113 model is equipped with two different sizes of cutting slots, allowing for clean and precise cuts. This feature enhances the ease of operation, making it simple and convenient to use. The cutting capacity of the RC-0113 is Ø13mm.

On the other hand, the RC-0116 variant is designed to handle larger concrete reinforcing steel rods. It offers a cutting capacity of Ø16mm and can withstand a force of 590N/mm. This increased cutting capacity makes the RC-0116 suitable for heavier-duty applications where thicker rods need to be cut.

The Rod Cutter RC-01 is proudly manufactured in Japan, known for its reputation for producing high-quality tools and machinery. Japanese manufacturing standards ensure precision and attention to detail, resulting in a reliable and durable product.

Investing in the Rod Cutter RC-01 means investing in a top-of-the-line tool that delivers exceptional performance, longevity, and safety. Whether you’re a professional in the construction industry or a DIY enthusiast, the RC-01 is a reliable tool that will meet your cutting needs with ease.

How to use rod cutter RC-01?

To use the Rod Cutter RC-01 effectively and safely, follow these steps:

1. Safety Precautions: Before starting, ensure that you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles, gloves, and protective footwear. This will help protect you from any potential hazards during the cutting process.
2. Select the correct model: Determine whether you are using the RC-0113 or RC-0116 variant based on the diameter of the concrete reinforcing steel rod you need to cut. Make sure you have the appropriate model on hand.
3. Positioning: Place the rod cutter on a stable and flat surface. Ensure that there is enough space around the tool for the cutting process.
4. Insert the Rod: Take the concrete reinforcing steel rod and insert it into the cutting slot of the tool. Position the rod so that it is centered and aligned with the cutting blades.
5. Apply Pressure: Firmly grasp the handles of the rod cutter with both hands. Apply consistent and gradual pressure to the handles, squeezing them together. This will bring the cutting blades into contact with the rod.
6. Cutting Motion: Once the blades make contact with the rod, continue applying pressure while simultaneously moving the handles in a cutting motion. The blades will gradually cut through the rod.
7. Complete the Cut: Continue the cutting motion until the rod is completely severed. Ensure that the blades have passed through the entire diameter of the rod to achieve a clean and precise cut.
8. Release Pressure: Once the cut is complete, release the pressure on the handles and remove the tool from the cut rod.
9. Repeat: If you have additional rods to cut, repeat steps 4 to 8 for each one. Take breaks as needed to prevent fatigue and maintain accuracy.
10. Maintenance: After using the rod cutter, clean it thoroughly to remove any debris and ensure smooth operation. Store the tool in a safe and dry place to protect it from damage.
