The Simpson MCR06212 5/8 in. x 12 in. Carbide Tipped Rebar Cutter from Simpson Strong-Tie is a precision-built cutting bit engineered for concrete drilling situations where hole placement conflicts with embedded rebar or wire mesh. When accurate hole positioning intersects with reinforcement, this bit enables the rebar to be removed so the hole can be drilled to the proper depth - keeping projects on track without sacrificing placement accuracy. Manufactured to demanding tolerances, it is designed to maximize production on the jobsite.

Key Features

• Carbide tipped construction - delivers the hardness and durability needed to cut through rebar and wire mesh embedded in concrete, reducing bit wear during demanding demolition and drilling tasks
• 5/8 in. diameter - sized to handle common rebar conflicts encountered in concrete anchor and fastener applications, giving contractors a reliable go-to for standard hole placement corrections
• 12 in. drilling depth - reaches deeply enough to fully clear rebar obstructions, allowing the subsequent drill bit to achieve the required embedment depth without compromise
• Approximately 15 in. overall length - provides sufficient reach in confined or recessed concrete surfaces where rebar interference is most likely to occur
• Compatible shank sold separately - a shank adaptor designed for the rotohammer in use is required; shanks work with all sizes of rebar cutters, meaning one shank adaptor covers the full range of Simpson Strong-Tie rebar cutter sizes and reduces accessory costs

Why This Product

• Solves a common concrete drilling problem - rather than repositioning an anchor hole or compromising structural intent, this rebar cutter lets crews remove the obstruction and drill to the exact specified location and depth
• Built to premium tolerances for jobsite reliability - Simpson Strong-Tie manufactures this bit to demanding tolerances, meaning consistent performance cut after cut rather than unpredictable results from lower-quality alternatives
• One shank adaptor works across the full rebar cutter lineup - because shanks are compatible with all sizes of rebar cutters, crews can expand to other cutter diameters without buying additional shank hardware, keeping accessory investment low
• Part of a complete drilling and demolition system - this cutter fits within Simpson Strong-Tie's broader line of drill bits, core bits, and chisels, making it straightforward to source compatible tools for any related drilling or concrete demolition need

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a shank included with the MCR06212 rebar cutter?

No. A shank adaptor designed for the rotohammer in use is required but sold separately. The rebar cutter and shank are two separate components that must be purchased individually.

Will one shank work with different sizes of rebar cutters?

Yes. Shanks work with all sizes of rebar cutters, so a single shank adaptor is compatible across the full range of Simpson Strong-Tie rebar cutter sizes.

What is the drilling depth and overall length of this rebar cutter?

The MCR06212 has a drilling depth of 12 in. and an overall length of approximately 15 in., with a diameter of 5/8 in.

What situations call for a rebar cutter like the MCR06212?

When hole placement conflicts with rebar or wire mesh in concrete, these bits enable the rebar to be removed so the hole can be drilled to the proper depth, allowing accurate hole positioning without compromising the work.
