OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done Faster

When you need to remove old welds or prep a joint for a fresh pass, you want a gouging rod that burns hot and cuts clean. Arcair CutSkill Copperclad Carbon Electrodes are the welder's choice for efficient air carbon-arc gouging. These 5/16-inch rods are built to handle the heat, featuring a special blend of carbon and graphite that produces an intense arc to melt away metal while the air stream blows it clear. Whether you are fixing a mistake or prepping a heavy plate, these rods help you work smoother and faster.

Cool Operation, Stable Arc

Nobody likes a rod that overheats or sputters halfway through a gouge. That's why Arcair coats these CutSkill electrodes in copper. The copper cladding improves the current transfer from your torch to the work, keeping the rod cooler and the arc more stable. This means you get a uniform groove every time, with less hassle and less waste. At 12 inches long, they give you plenty of runtime before you need to swap out, and the pointed tip makes starting your gouge right where you want it a breeze.

Reliable Weld Prep and Repair

These rods are the workhorses of the repair and fabrication world. Use them to gouge out cracks, remove hard surfacing, or machine rough edges on castings. They are designed to run on DC power (DCEP) between 350 and 450 amps, giving you the punch you need for deep gouging. With 50 rods in every box, you can keep your shop stocked and ready for whatever heavy metal removal tasks come your way. Trust Arcair CutSkill to deliver the performance you need to keep your projects moving forward.
