61088010 - Arcair CutSkill CSK4000 Angle-Arc Gouging Torch with 10ft Cable

Arcair CutSkill Angle-Arc CSK4000: Precision and Power

Welders and fabricators looking for a reliable solution for heavy-duty gouging need look no further than the Arcair CutSkill Angle-Arc CSK4000. This complete torch and cable assembly is designed to facilitate the air carbon-arc gouging process, a method preferred for its speed and versatility in removing metal. The CSK4000 model is rated for up to 1000 amps, providing the thermal intensity needed to gouge through tough materials quickly and cleanly. It comes equipped with a 10-foot heavy-duty cable, offering the reach and flexibility necessary for working on large components.

The "Angle-Arc" design of the torch is focused on operator control and groove visibility. By maintaining the optimal angle, the torch allows for smooth, consistent grooves. A key innovation in this model is the four-hole head assembly. Unlike standard single-hole designs, this configuration distributes air flow evenly around the electrode, ensuring that molten metal and slag are blown clear of the groove immediately. This results in a cleaner cut and reduces the likelihood of carbon inclusions or irregular groove profiles.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the air assist positive air shut-off feature. This system helps manage air consumption and prevents unnecessary strain on your compressor system. It is particularly beneficial in shops where air supply might fluctuate, ensuring the torch remains operational. The unit supports a wide variety of carbon electrodes, including pointed and jointed carbons from 5/32" to 3/8", flat carbons up to 5/8", and half-round carbons, making it a versatile tool for various joint configurations and metal removal requirements.

Comfort and longevity are built into the cable assembly. The improved electrical conduction reduces resistive heating, keeping the cable cooler and easier to handle over long shifts. The rugged outer cover protects the internal conductors from the sparks, spatter, and rough surfaces typical of a welding environment. For structural steel, shipyards, and general heavy fabrication, the Arcair CSK4000 is the professional's choice for efficient metal removal.
