OVERVIEW

Cut Anything, Anywhere, Anytime

When you are out in the field and up against a seized pin, a bent frame, or a piece of equipment that just won't budge, you need the Broco Slice Rods. This 10lb box of 1/4" x 18" rods is your "get out of jail free" card for heavy equipment repair. Forget about duty cycles or finding a 220V outlet; if you have an oxygen bottle and a 12V battery, you are ready to cut through steel, cast iron, aluminum, and even concrete.

The magic of the Broco Slice system is in the rod itself. It burns hot—over 10,000°F hot. That is hot enough to liquefy almost anything in its path. Welders love these rods because they don't just cut; they pierce and gouge with aggression. The 1/4-inch diameter is perfect for general repairs, giving you enough punch to blow through thick plate without wasting rod on thinner materials. Plus, the 18-inch length gives you good burn time so you aren't changing rods every ten seconds.

Designed for the Real World

Broco knows that real-world cutting isn't always on a flat worktable. That is why these rods are designed to bend. You can curve the rod to reach behind a bracket or inside a pipe, and the oxygen will still flow freely. The safety recess at the back end ensures you don't burn up your torch collet, saving you money on replacement parts. Whether you are working on heavy earthmovers, mining equipment, or structural demolition, keeping a box of these Slice rods on your truck ensures you are never stuck on a job.

  • Universal Cutting: Cuts steel, stainless, aluminum, and non-metals like rock and concrete.
  • No Power Grid Needed: Operates on oxygen and a battery ignition.
  • Flexible: Bend the rod to reach difficult spots without losing pressure.
  • Safety First: Recessed end prevents torch damage.

FAQ

You need a Broco Slice torch (or compatible exothermic torch), an oxygen cylinder with a regulator capable of 80-100 PSI, and a 12V battery (or striker) for ignition.

No, Broco Slice rods do not use welding amperage. They are exothermic rods that use oxygen as fuel. The electrical connection is only used momentarily to ignite the rod.

Yes, Broco Slice rods burn hot enough (>10,000°F) to melt and cut through concrete, brick, and rock, unlike standard oxy-fuel torches.

The recess at the torch end prevents the exothermic reaction from burning back into the torch head and damaging the washer or collet.

Burn time varies based on oxygen pressure and material thickness, but typically a 1/4" x 18" rod will burn for approximately 40 to 50 seconds of continuous cutting.

Yes, Broco rods are designed to be bent up to 90 degrees without crimping the internal wires or restricting the oxygen flow.

For 1/4" rods, a working pressure of 80 to 100 PSI at the regulator is recommended for optimal performance.

The quantity depends on the exact weight of each rod, but a 10lb box of 1/4" x 18" rods typically contains approximately 40-50 rods.
