01082002 - Arcair K4000 Angle-Arc Manual Gouging Torch 1000A

Arcair K4000: The Professional's Choice for Gouging

The Arcair K4000 Angle-Arc Gouging Torch (Part No. 01-082-002) represents the pinnacle of manual air carbon-arc technology. Designed for operator comfort and maximum efficiency, the K4000 is widely recognized as the "go-to" torch for structural steel fabrication, marine construction, and heavy equipment repair. Its ergonomic design features a natural 15-degree angle, which reduces wrist strain during prolonged use, while the 360-degree swivel cable prevents twisting and tangling, allowing the operator to maneuver freely around large workpieces.

Versatile Electrode Compatibility

This high-amperage torch is incredibly versatile, accommodating a wide range of carbon electrodes to suit various gouging depths and widths. It accepts pointed carbons from 5/32" to 1/2" and flat carbons from 3/8" to 5/8". This flexibility makes it ideal for diverse tasks, from fine defect removal to hogging out large amounts of material in foundry applications. The robust clamping mechanism ensures the electrode is held securely, maintaining stable electrical contact for a smooth, consistent arc.

Engineered for Harsh Industrial Use

The "Extreme" designation of the K4000 refers to its enhanced durability features. The torch body is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant materials that survive the rough handling of industrial jobsites. The internal air passages are streamlined to deliver 25 cfm at 80 psi, ensuring powerful metal ejection. Furthermore, the cable assembly is reinforced to resist cuts and burns, ensuring a long service life. By combining high amperage capability (90-1000A) with user-focused ergonomic features, the Arcair K4000 increases productivity while reducing operator fatigue, making it an essential tool for any serious welder or fabricator.
