In the absence of this tool, however, rebar can be cut with a hack saw.
Things You Will Need
-
Measure the length to which the rebar must be cut using a measuring tape.
-
Position the rebar on a solid, steady work surface. Make sure that the point that you will cut is a few inches from the work surface, but not so far that the end of the rebar will vibrate while you are cutting.
-
Clamp the rebar securely to the work surface, with the clamp positioned as near to the point where the rebar will be cut as the work surface allows.
-
Position the hack saw on the point where you will make your cut. Make short cutting movements with the hacksaw until you have created a groove in the metal for the blade to follow, then make long steady cuts using as much of the saw blade as possible.
