Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Rebar Cutter (Bare Tool)

Description

Shearing high-tensile steel rebar without sparks or open flame defines the Makita 40V Max Rebar Cutter Bare. This heavy cordless tool cuts through number eight grade sixty rebar up to one-inch diameter in under three seconds. It eliminates hazardous cutoff saws on concrete foundation decks. The bare tool excludes batteries and chargers, requiring separate acquisition.

Engineered with a solid drop-forged steel cutting head, the tool incorporates a rugged polymer motor handle reinforced with rubber bumpers. A 40-volt max brushless motor powers a high-pressure hydraulic piston pump, pulling twenty-two full-load amps under maximum shearing resistance. The bare tool weighs 20.7 lbs without battery, measuring 15.8 inches long by 4.2 inches wide. Its heavy-duty hydraulic system generates over twenty-two tons of linear shear force.

Key Features of Makita GCS01ZK

Commercial concrete contractors buy Makita GCS01ZK cutters to shear structural rebar cages without laying power cords across muddy jobsite decks. Professional rebar cutter pricing delivers cordless hydraulic speed that dramatically improves production rates on bridge decks.

• Heavy hydraulic ram shears number eight one-inch grade sixty rebar in 2.8 seconds.
• Four-way indexable cutting blades deliver hundreds of cuts before requiring blade replacement.
• 360-degree rotating head allows comfortable positioning when cutting mats at awkward ground angles.
• Spark-free cold shearing operation satisfies strict hot-work safety mandates on commercial jobsites.
• Brushless 40-volt motor delivers corded-equivalent power with zero carbon brushes to replace.
• Adjustable stopper bolt holds different rebar diameters perpendicular to the cutting die faces.
• Integrated chip deflector stops cut rebar segments from flying toward crew members.

Hydraulic Shear Bench Test Calibration

Bench load cell tests show the hydraulic pump builds twenty-two tons of cutting force at the moment of rebar failure. Cutting time through one-inch grade sixty deformed steel bars averages 2.85 seconds per cycle. The cutting blades show zero edge chipping across five hundred continuous laboratory test shears. Internal hydraulic fluid temperature reaches thirty degrees Fahrenheit above ambient room conditions after twenty non-stop cuts. Battery management electronics deliver consistent stroke timing until pack voltage drops to thirty-two volts under load.

Jobsite Handling Preventative Maintenance Directives

The tool requires two hands for balanced control during floor-level rebar mat cuts. The side handle positions operator weight directly over the cutting centerline. However, do not purchase this hydraulic shear for high-tensile wire rope, pre-stressed concrete strand, or threaded structural bolts.

• Clean steel scale out of the blade seat once a day using a stiff wire brush.
• Rotate the four-sided cutting blades every five hundred cuts to present a fresh edge.
• Inspect hydraulic cylinder seams once a month for oil weeping or seal leakage.

Factory Warranty Crate Manifest

Makita protects this cordless rebar cutter with a 3-Year warranty covering brushless motor components and hydraulic drive cylinders. The hard plastic transport case includes the bare GCS01ZK rebar cutter, side handle, hex wrench, blade oil, and technical instruction manual. Batteries and chargers require separate purchase.
