How to Roll Rebar

Rebar is a metal rod that is typically used to reinforce concrete. When a curve is needed in your rebar, it will need to be bent. Bending the rebar is done by rolling it with a piece of equipment called a rebar bender. This is a type of electric machine that uses pressure to bend rebar into any angle. You can roll rebar by first determining the curve or shape that is needed.

Instructions

- 1
  Set the selector for your rebar bender for the angle of bend that you require. Turn a selector knob or use a keypad to enter the desired angle.
- 2
  Insert one end of the rebar into the bending channel. This is a protruding slot that is found at the center of the rebar bender.
- 3
  Hold the rebar in place with you hand. Make sure to keep your hands away from the bending roller.
- 4
  Press on the foot pedal to activate the rebar bender. Allow the machine to run until it stops. The bender will then begin to go in the opposite direction.
- 5
  Grasp the rebar to keep it against the bending channel until the bender returns to the ̶0;start̶1; position.
