For professional welders and fabricators looking to streamline their metal removal tasks, the Arcair CutSkill 1/2" x 17" DC Jointed Copperclad Electrodes offer a perfect blend of performance and value. Air carbon-arc gouging is a demanding process, and having the right consumable is key to getting the job done quickly and cleanly. These CutSkill rods are designed to cut through metal with ease, whether you are back-gouging a weld seam, removing old welds for repair, or washing away rivet heads. The 1/2-inch diameter makes them a powerhouse tool for heavy-duty jobs where removing a lot of material fast is the priority.
The standout feature of these rods is the "jointed" design. If you are tired of throwing away the last few inches of every carbon rod, these are the solution. The ends are machined so that you can snap a new rod onto the back of the one you are using. This means you can keep gouging without stopping to reload as often, and you use 100% of the carbon you paid for. No more stubs on the floor means more money in your pocket and less time wasted. It is a simple innovation that makes a huge difference in daily shop productivity.
Arcair has coated these graphite rods in a high-quality copper layer. This isn't just for looks; the copper helps the rod carry the massive 850-1000 amps of power needed to melt steel instantly. It also keeps the rod from overheating and breaking down too quickly, giving you a smooth, stable burn from start to finish. The arc stability provided by the copper coating and the consistent carbon mix means you get a clean, uniform groove every time, reducing the amount of grinding needed before you start welding again.
This package contains 100 electrodes, ensuring you have a well-stocked supply for big projects. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel plant, or a heavy equipment repair shop, these Arcair Jetrods deliver the reliability you expect from the industry leader in gouging technology. They are compatible with standard gouging torches and require a DC power source and compressed air supply. Upgrade your gouging process today with the efficiency of jointed carbons.
