If you do a lot of gouging, you know the frustration of stopping every few minutes to throw away a 3-inch stub and load a new rod. It breaks your rhythm and wastes good money. The Arcair 3/8" x 14" Jointed Gouging Electrodes are the solution. These rods are designed to lock together—just push the new rod into the back of the one you're using, give it a twist, and keep working. You burn the entire rod, right down to the joint, meaning zero stub loss and less time spent swapping out consumables.
These are DCCC rods—Direct Current Copper Coated—which is the industry standard for a reason. The copper coating helps the rod carry the current efficiently, keeping the arc fierce and stable without overheating the rod itself. When you are digging out a deep crack or washing away an old weld, you need that consistency. The 3/8-inch size is perfect for moving a lot of metal fast, making it a go-to choice for structural steel repair, shipyard work, and heavy equipment maintenance.
Using jointed rods also makes your day smoother. Because you aren't stopping constantly, you can maintain your heat input and travel speed, resulting in cleaner, more consistent grooves. Whether you are prepping a plate for a full-pen weld or stripping wear plates off a bucket, these Arcair rods stand up to the heat and pressure. This package comes with 100 rods, giving you plenty of runtime for big jobs. Hook them up to your gouging torch, crank up the air, and watch the metal fly without the hassle of constant reloads.
