Speed, Safety and Precision with Makita’s New Steel Rebar Cutter

 23 Jun 2026

Makita’s new SC001GZK Steel Rebar Cutter 40VMax XGTÒ allows trade professionals to cut rebar quickly, easily and without the constraints of a cord. An impressive piece of kit – it can cut 16mm of rebar in just 1.7 seconds, which is a staggering 65% faster than the previous 18V model. Notably, the spark-free cutting process, that creates minimal debris, also ensures a safer working environment.

Weighing in at just 6kg when fitted with the BL4025 battery, this cordless machine allows for complete freedom of movement. This is ideal for access to hard-to-reach areas on site and eliminating potential trip hazards. A brushless motor delivers efficient and low-maintenance operation, despite the hydraulic unit and motor together measuring just 321mm in length.

In what is a considerably compact design, through engineering excellence, the Steel Rebar Cutter achieves a performance to meet the exacting standards of professional users. An excellent cutting speed, a practical 360° rotating head and an adjustable stopper to hold the rebar at a perfect 90° angle, combine to achieve excellent control as well as clean and precise cuts.

A reliable solution for high volume tasks, the Steel Rebar Cutter delivers 250 cuts per charge on a powerful 2.5Ah, general-use BL4025 Li-ion battery, which can be used across Makita’s complete range of 40VMax XGT® tools.

“The new 40VMax Steel Rebar Cutter represents everything that our XGT® range stands for: it makes light work of the toughest tasks with a powerful, cordless, battery,” said Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK. “It offers a precise and powerful performance that professionals can trust in, along with the benefits of enhanced safety, efficiency and mobility on site.”
