BT-50375 3/8-Inch Threaded Rod Cutter

I have used my Berkley BT-50375 to cut about 300 rods so far, all 3/8, threaded, 360 brass. For a man with reasonable arm strength this machine cuts easily, much faster than sawing and with better results. Maybe half the time a nut will slip easily onto the fresh-cut rod, but plan on doing a little touch-up. Surprisingly it does not flatten the threads where they press the anvil. This item should be paired with some tool that bevels the cut end for easy nut-starting.Caveat: I have used it only on 360 brass, which is probably the easiest-machining metal on the planet.

very good tool for the price , time saver

First 10 cuts was good and after that 10 cuts you have to fight every time , very disappointed with the rod cutter, don't recommend to anyone

I purchased the BT-50375 because I was tired of having to clear threads after cutting threaded rod.This tool makes cutting the rod a breeze, but most of the time I still had some difficulty screwing a nut on after the cut.Still, it's much better than cutting them with a saw, and the thread clean-up is greatly reduced.

safest way to cut small pieces ; nuts go on easily , no burrs ...
