Default Cutting 1/2" rebar


"NickySantoro" wrote in message
...
I need to cut some 1/2" rebar. I have a Sawzall with a metal cutting
blade and a circular saw with a cut off wheel. I don't have a torch or
access to one or a decent bolt cutter. Ideas on the best method to cut
this stuff?
TIA


I use my DeWalt grinder with a 4" steel cutting blade. It works quickly on
rebar. I cut about halfway through and then I can bend and break off the
piece easily.
That grinder is one of the most handiest tools I own. I've solved a lot of
nasty plumbing demolition jobs and cutting off large nails sticking through
studs when renovating, etc. It's indispensible for home maintenance.
