KP3800-1/2 - Lincoln CarbonElite 1/2 x 14 Pointed Gouging Carbons (50-Pack)

Smooth Grooves and Stable Arcs

When you are out in the field or deep in the shop needing to remove a bad weld or prep a thick joint, you need a gouging rod that won't fight you. The Lincoln Electric KP3800-1/2 CarbonElite Pointed Gouging Electrodes are built for welders who demand control and reliability. These 1/2-inch rods are designed to burn evenly and smoothly, giving you a clean, U-shaped groove without the jagged edges or erratic arc wandering that cheaper carbons often produce. The pointed tip allows for easy starting and precise control right from the first strike, making them a favorite for both roughing out cracks and fine-tuning joint preparations.

Nothing is more frustrating than a carbon rod that snaps halfway through a pass or overheats your torch. Lincoln Electric has solved this with a high-density carbon formula that is tough enough to handle the rigors of heavy fabrication. The rods are coated in a high-quality copper layer that does more than just look good—it ensures the current transfers efficiently from your torch jaws to the arc. This means you get a stable, fierce arc that blasts away molten metal cleanly when paired with your air stream, leaving you with a surface that requires minimal grinding before you start welding again.

These electrodes are incredibly versatile. Whether you are working on heavy equipment repair, fixing railcars, or gouging out a root pass on a pipeline, the KP3800-1/2 delivers consistent results. The 14-inch length gives you plenty of run time per rod, reducing the number of times you have to stop and reload. Because they generate less excess heat, they also help keep your gouging torch cooler during long shifts. This 50-pack ensures you are stocked up for the big jobs, so you can keep the sparks flying and the metal moving.

Applications for these rods are endless. They are perfect for removing temporary welded attachments, scarfing out defects in castings, or preparing plate edges for welding. Compatible with standard air carbon arc gouging torches, these pointed carbons are a must-have consumable for any serious welder's arsenal. Experience the difference that a premium electrode makes in your metal removal work.
