OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Problem Solver for Stuck Pins and Hard Materials

When you are out in the field and facing a seized pin, a bent frame, or a barrier that standard torches can't touch, you need the Broco Slice Rod 3/16" x 18". Sold in a convenient 20-piece box, these exothermic cutting rods are the "get out of jail free" card for welders, heavy equipment mechanics, and rescue personnel. Unlike plasma or oxy-fuel, the Slice system doesn't care if the material is conductive, clean, or even metal.

Cuts Anything, Anywhere: The Broco Slice rod burns hot enough to liquefy steel, aluminum, cast iron, and even rock or concrete. It cuts through multiple layers of dissimilar materials without stopping. This makes it the go-to tool for removing frozen pins from excavators, cutting through bridge decking, or gaining entry during emergency rescue operations.

Why Choose 3/16"? The 3/16-inch diameter is perfect for precision jobs. If you need to wash out a bolt or pierce a pin without blowing away the surrounding bushing, this smaller diameter gives you the control you need. It produces less slag than heavier rods while still delivering the legendary Broco cutting power.

These rods are uncoated (UN SKU designation implies uncoated/standard finish), ensuring they fit standard collets easily and conduct electricity for ignition without issue. Simply hook up your oxygen, connect the 12V ignition, and you are ready to cut through the toughest obstacles on the job site.

FAQ

You need a Broco Slice torch (or compatible exothermic torch), an oxygen cylinder with a high-flow regulator, and a 12V battery for ignition.

Yes, Broco Slice rods burn at approximately 10,000°F, which is hot enough to melt and cut through concrete, rock, and refractory materials.

Uncoated rods are standard steel tubes with fuel wires. Coated rods have an external flux coating that allows them to be used without an electrical ground after ignition and prevents side-arcing in underwater or tight applications. These specific rods appear to be the standard/uncoated variety.

Burn time depends on oxygen pressure and the material being cut, but a 3/16" x 18" rod typically lasts between 30 to 45 seconds of continuous cutting.

No, one of the main advantages of the Slice system is that it cuts through rust, scale, paint, mud, and slag without any surface preparation.

Due to the extreme heat and molten spray, operators must use a full face shield (Shade 5 recommended), leather jacket, apron, gloves, and respiratory protection.

While Broco makes specific underwater cutting rods, standard Slice rods are generally intended for surface use. Underwater rods typically have a special waterproofing coating.
