Rebar cutting calculator
Turn a bar schedule into cut layouts. Enter stock bar lengths and each required rebar length with its quantity, then use the solved layout at the shear or saw.
Reading the bars: parts are outlined boxes · kerf is a solid black band · blocked zones are grey · drop has a dashed border · scrap is hatched.

Rebar cutting calculator questions
What kerf should I enter for shearing rebar?+
Zero. A rebar shear displaces material instead of removing it, so no length is lost per cut. If you saw-cut instead, enter your blade's kerf.
How do I handle bent bars from a bending schedule?+
Optimize the straight cut length — the developed length before bending. Enter each bar mark's developed length and quantity, cut to the plan, then bend.
What stock lengths does rebar come in?+
In the US, 20, 40, and 60 ft are common; metric markets typically stock 6 m and 12 m. Enter whatever your supplier delivers — mixed lengths work.
Can it handle a large bar schedule?+
Yes. Enter each cut length once with its total quantity — schedules with hundreds or thousands of cuts solve in seconds.
