When you are staring down a massive casting or a heavy steel plate that needs serious material removed, you don't have time for undersized tools. The Arcair 47164000 1 x 17 Carbon Rod is the heavy hitter you need in your arsenal. At a full 1-inch diameter, this rod is built for the toughest gouging jobs out there. It's not just about making sparks; it's about hogging out metal fast, clean, and efficiently. Whether you are washing pads in a foundry or gouging out deep cracks in heavy equipment, this rod stands up to the heat and the current without flinching.

We know that arc stability is everything when you are behind the torch. That is why this Arcair rod features a high-quality copper coating. The copper helps the current flow smoothly, giving you a steady, fierce arc that melts through steel like butter. It also keeps the rod from getting too hot further up the stick, so you don't waste material or deal with crumbling carbons. The result is a smooth, uniform groove that requires less cleanup grinding afterwards. You get the job done faster, and with less hassle.

The 17-inch length is a real back-saver. It means you spend more time gouging and less time stopping to swap out stubs. In the world of air carbon arc gouging, downtime is the enemy, and this longer rod keeps you in the cut. It is designed to work with your heavy-duty gouging torch and compressed air supply to blast away molten metal cleanly. You can trust Arcair's reputation for consistency; every rod in the box burns the same, so you don't have to constantly adjust your technique.

This isn't your average garage shop electrode. This is industrial-grade gear for professional welders and fabricators who demand the best. If your daily grind involves moving serious amounts of metal, the Arcair 1x17 Carbon Rod is the reliable partner you need to keep production moving.
