Rebar cutting machine from China

A rebar cutter is a shear, and its rated diameter holds only for the bar strength it was rated on, so a GQ40 may stop well short on your ribbed bar.

What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Rated diameter against tensile strength

Ask the ribbed bar maximum at your grade. One listing rated its GQ40 at 450 MPa tensile, below class B bar.

Bars per stroke

Small bars are cut several at once. Ask the table of bars per cut.

Blade steel and edges

Ask blade steel, hardness and cutting edges per blade.

Cuts per minute

Listings state 28 to 32 cuts per minute.

Decode the model code.

In GQ40 the 40 is a nominal capacity in millimetres, and listings do not agree: one stated 28 mm, another 40 mm at 450 MPa.

Class B bar in Eurocode 2 has a tensile to yield ratio of at least 1.08: 500 x 1.08 = 540 MPa, above a 450 MPa rating.
Bar section: 28 x 28 = 784 against 40 x 40 = 1,600, about half.

Where the numbers come from.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.

Listings · 11Eleven GQ40 listings, checked October 2026, advertised US$400 to US$800. Asking prices, not landed cost.
Listings · 3Three GQ40 listings checked October 2026 stated 28 to 32 cuts a minute; one rated 28 mm, another 40 mm at 450 MPa, cutting six bars of 6 to 8 mm per stroke and one above 20 mm.
Arithmetic500 MPa yield x 1.08 minimum ratio = 540 MPa tensile for class B bar under Eurocode 2.
