Three rotational speed levels. Rotational speed is distinct from the typical cutting-time test references below.
Typical Cutting Time
Typical Rebar Cutting Performance
SDX cutting-test references for the cold cutting saw series. The test model and configuration have not been specified; these results are not a performance guarantee for either model. Choose a model rated for the rebar diameter.
| Rebar diameter | Typical cutting time |
|---|---|
| Ø25 mm | Approx. 3 s |
| Ø28 mm | Approx. 4 s |
| Ø32 mm | Approx. 5 s |
| Ø36 mm | Approx. 7 s |
| Ø40 mm | Approx. 10 s |
Actual cutting time may vary depending on material grade, blade condition and operating conditions.
Ø50 mm capacity is confirmed for SDX-500CT; a cutting time at that diameter is not available.
Equipment Selection
Electric vs Hydraulic Cutting
Electric cold cutting provides a more portable and flexible alternative to conventional hydraulic cutting equipment for many construction and maintenance applications. Compare the actual cutter design, rated capacity and working clearance rather than assuming every hydraulic system has the same layout.
Scroll horizontally to compare both equipment types.
| Feature | SDX Electric Cold Cutting Saw | Conventional Hydraulic Cutter |
|---|---|---|
| Power system | Handheld electric, with corded, battery or dual-power configurations | Hydraulic drive; system arrangement depends on the cutter design |
| Portability | Compact handheld design for carrying and repositioning around the jobsite | Separate-unit systems involve a hydraulic unit and cutter assembly; integrated designs vary |
| Confined-space access | Compact tool can reach restricted areas where larger equipment is difficult to position | Access depends on the cutter head, unit arrangement and available working clearance |
| Setup | Handheld operation without a separate hydraulic unit; prepare the correct blade and power configuration | Separate-unit systems require positioning and connecting the hydraulic equipment |
| Cutting applications | Rebar, tube, sections and supported materials with a suitable blade, within model capacity | Supported workpieces and diameter depend on the hydraulic cutter design |
Cutting Capability
Materials & Supported Workpieces
Match the blade to the material and keep every cut within the supported cutting capacity of the applicable model. Rebar diameter ratings do not establish the maximum dimensions of every tube, section or material.
Materials You Can Cut
Primary metal applications
- Reinforcing steel
- Carbon steel
- Steel sections
- Steel pipe and tubing
- Copper
- Aluminum
Additional supported materials depending on blade and application: Wood, Nylon, Plastic.
Supported Workpiece Types
- Reinforcing bar
- Round tube
- Square tube
- Solid steel sections
- Metal profiles within rated capacity
Send the material grade, wall thickness and section dimensions to SDX to confirm the model and blade before ordering.
Confined-Space Applications
Better Access in Restricted Work Areas
The compact handheld design allows operators to reach restricted working areas where bulky hydraulic cutting equipment can be difficult to position. Check tool clearance, blade access and safe operating space for the actual site.
- Reinforcement cages
- Maintenance areas
- Renovation work
- Equipment spaces
- Corners
- Restricted-access construction areas

Buyer FAQ
Questions Before You Choose
Confirm the material, section dimensions, blade and power configuration for your cutting requirement.
What advantages does the SDX electric cold cutting saw offer?
Both SDX-300CT and SDX-500CT have 2,800 W rated power and a compact handheld design for construction and maintenance. SDX-300CT supports rebar up to Ø32 mm at 3.0 kg net weight; SDX-500CT supports up to Ø50 mm at 3.35 kg. Weights exclude packaging. Confirm the blade and supplied electrical configuration for your application.
How does electric cold cutting compare with a hydraulic cutter?
Electric cold cutting provides a more portable and flexible alternative for many jobsite applications. The handheld design avoids a separate hydraulic unit and can be easier to position in restricted areas. Hydraulic cutter layouts and capabilities vary, so compare the complete equipment arrangement for your site.
How fast can the saw cut reinforcing bar?
SDX typical cutting tests recorded approximately 3 s at Ø25 mm, 4 s at Ø28 mm, 5 s at Ø32 mm, 7 s at Ø36 mm and 10 s at Ø40 mm. These are series-level test references, not guaranteed times for either individual model. Actual cutting time may vary depending on material grade, blade condition and operating conditions.
What materials can the cold cutting saw cut?
Primary applications include reinforcing steel, carbon steel, steel sections, steel pipe and tubing, copper and aluminum. Wood, nylon and plastic are additional supported materials depending on the blade and application. Confirm material, section dimensions and a suitable blade with SDX before selection.
Can the saw cut square tube, round tube and solid steel?
Yes. Within the supported cutting capacity of the applicable model, the saw can cut round tube, square tube and solid steel sections in addition to reinforcing bar. The rated rebar diameter does not establish an identical maximum size for every other material or profile.
Can the cold cutting saw be used in confined spaces?
The compact handheld design allows access to restricted work areas such as reinforcement cages, equipment spaces and renovation areas where larger cutting equipment may be difficult to position. Check tool clearance, blade access and safe operating space for the actual site.
