High-Performance Replacement Blades for RC-16 Portable Rebar Cutters

Need reliable spare parts for your handheld cutter? Our RC-16 rebar cutting blades are made for precise, durable heavy-duty hydraulic cutting. Designed for portable electric rebar cutters, they deliver clean cuts and a long service life.
The RC-16 portable hydraulic rebar cutter is widely used on construction sites for its mobility and speed. But a machine is only as good as its blade. AlasMachinery’s premium RC-16 replacement blades stand up to repeated high-pressure steel cutting—no cracking or early dulling.

Key Features of AlasMachinery RC-16 Blades

Our blades boost portable hydraulic tool performance with quality materials, advanced manufacturing, and user-friendly design.

1. Quality Material Options

Blade material affects hardness, toughness, and how long it lasts. Choose based on your cutting needs and rebar type:
  • H13 Material: A top choice for high-quality blades. It’s very wear-resistant and tough, with great heat resistance. It won’t bend or chip during long, heavy cutting—ideal for high-strength rebar. Perfect for international trade (fewer replacements mean lower shipping and customs costs).

  • Cr12MoV Material: A hard, wear-resistant tool steel. It cuts high-hardness cold-rolled rebar and 16mm Grade 60 rebar without edge damage. Note: It’s less tough—avoid high-impact, large-gap cutting.

  • 9CrSi Material: An affordable, practical option. It’s easy to harden and machine, good for cutting ordinary medium- and low-strength rebar. Great for small to medium projects.

We also offer D2 material for RC-16 blades to meet different project needs.

2. Longer Life with 4-Sided Design

  • Blades are cube-shaped with 4 usable cutting edges.

  • Rotate the blade to a new edge when one gets dull.

  • This design makes the blade last 4 times longer—fewer replacements, lower costs.

3. Advanced Manufacturing

  • Blades use full grinding and vacuum heat treatment.

  • Each blade is hardened to HRC 50-61 (per our HardnessMap QC standards).

  • Prevents internal stress (a common issue with cheap blades that break easily).

  • Results in even hardness, sharp edges, and less chipping/dulling.

4. Perfect Fit & Easy Installation

  • Made to strict OEM sizes—fits most RC-16 cutter heads perfectly.

  • Comes with strong mounting bolts for secure, gap-free installation.

  • Saves time on maintenance and replacement.

Matching Your Cutter (Size Customization)

Proper blade matching ensures best performance. Follow these tips:

Shape Matching

  • Square blades (our RC-16 standard): 4 usable edges, longer life—great for large-scale cutting.

  • Rectangular blades: 1 or 2 usable edges—best for small-tonnage cutters.

Size Matching

  • Different cutters (RC-16, RC-22, RC-25) have specific requirements for blade thickness, length, width, and bolt hole spacing.

  • Always follow your equipment’s instruction manual when choosing.

Choose the Right Blade for Your Rebar

Rebar type affects blade choice—pick based on rebar properties:
  • Ordinary Round Steel: Low hardness, easy to cut. 9CrSi or Cr12MoV works well (affordable and meets basic needs).

  • High-Strength Ribbed Rebar: Hard, ribbed surface wears blades quickly. Use H13 material—it’s wear-resistant and tough, reducing chipping risk for heavy cutting.

Custom Rebar Cutting Blades

  • Our blades have optimized hardening and toughness to prevent brittle breakage when cutting high-strength rebar.

  • We offer custom solutions for your specific equipment and project needs—blades fit your work perfectly.

Technical Specifications

  • Compatible Models: RC-16, NRC-16, and similar 16mm portable cutters.

  • Materials: Cr12MoV, D2, or H13 (on request).

  • Cutting Capacity: Up to 16mm diameter rebar (SD345/Grade 60).

Reduce Construction Downtime

  • A broken blade stops rebar preparation on busy sites.

  • AlasMachinery’s RC-16 blades are reliable—they cut cleaner, faster, and last longer.

  • Keep your cutter working efficiently, not waiting for repairs.

FAQ

Question 1: What are the main material options for our rebar cutting blades?

Based on different working conditions and budget requirements, we offer three general industrial-grade alloy steel materials:

9CrSi (Alloy Tool Steel): An economical choice. It has good hardenability and machinability, suitable for cutting ordinary medium-to-low strength rebar, and is widely used in small and medium-sized projects.

Cr12MoV (Cold Work Die Steel): High-end wear-resistant type. High carbon and high chromium content, after heat treatment, it has excellent wear resistance, making it an ideal choice for continuous cutting of high-strength rebar. Its service life is much longer than 9CrSi.

H13 (Hot Work Die Steel/Red Hard Steel): High toughness and high wear resistance. It exhibits excellent resistance to chipping and thermal stability in rebar cutting applications, especially suitable for high-speed production lines or online cutting of hot-rolled rebar, and cutting of ultra-thick rebar and composite materials of scrap rebar.

Question 2: Why do my blades often chip? Is it a material problem?

Chipping is usually caused by the following factors:

Insufficient toughness: Using ultra-hard but low-toughness materials to cut large-diameter or ultra-hard rebar can easily lead to brittle fracture. In this case, we recommend switching to H13 material, as its excellent toughness can effectively absorb impact forces.

Improper clearance: Too large or too small a gap between the upper and lower blades will lead to uneven stress, resulting in chipping.

Insufficient heat treatment: Internal stress is not completely eliminated. All our blades use vacuum heat treatment technology to ensure uniform hardness from the inside out, greatly reducing the chipping rate.

Question 3: What is the biggest performance difference between 9CrSi and Cr12MoV?

Wear resistance: Cr12MoV has significantly better wear resistance than 9CrSi. Under the same working conditions, the number of cuts for Cr12MoV is usually 2-3 times that of 9CrSi.

Cost: 9CrSi is more cost-effective, suitable for projects sensitive to initial purchase costs; although the unit price of Cr12MoV is slightly higher, its lower replacement frequency results in a lower overall cutting cost per ton of rebar.

Question 4: Which material is recommended for high-strength deformed rebar (e.g., HRB500E) or thick rebar?

For high-strength or ribbed rebar, we strongly recommend H13:

If you are facing extremely high operating intensity and are concerned about downtime due to blade chipping, choose H13. Its impact fatigue resistance is top-notch in the rebar processing industry.

Question 5: Can you customize non-standard size blades according to drawings?

Yes. We understand that blade specifications vary among different equipment brands (e.g., from Italy, Germany, or China). We are equipped with a full set of CNC machining equipment, and you only need to provide the following information:

Detailed drawings (including length, width, thickness, and hole dimensions).

Material requirements (9CrSi, Cr12MoV, or H13).

Specifications of the workpiece to be processed (rebar diameter and strength grade).

We can provide a 1:1 precise customized solution.

Question 6: How to maintain the blades to extend their service life?

Regular rotation: Our blades are usually designed with 4 or 8 cutting edges. Please rotate the blade promptly when one cutting edge becomes dull.

Tighten bolts: Ensure the blades are securely installed. Any slight looseness will cause destructive impact during the cutting process.

Control the gap: Adjust a reasonable blade gap according to the rebar diameter, usually about 10% of the rebar diameter.
