OVERVIEW

Cut Through Anything with the Arcair Slice Torch Handle Kit

When you are up against a job that standard oxy-fuel or plasma cutters can't handle, the Arcair Slice Torch Handle Kit is your ultimate problem solver. This isn't just another cutting torch; it is the command center for the Slice Exothermic Cutting System, a tool legendary among welders and maintenance pros for its ability to cut through literally anything. Whether you are dealing with a seized bridge pin, a concrete wall, a stainless steel tank, or a mud-caked piece of heavy machinery, this torch handle gets the job done when other methods fail.

The design of the Slice Torch Handle (SKU 94370182) focuses on comfort and protection. Cutting through concrete or thick steel generates a lot of heat and sparks, which is why Arcair equipped this handle with a large, durable rubber shield. This shield protects your hand, allowing you to get close to the work and maintain precise control. The pistol-grip style is comfortable to hold for extended periods, reducing fatigue during tough demolition or repair projects. The oxygen lever is responsive and easy to feather, giving you the control you need to pierce deep or wash away material smoothly.

One of the biggest advantages of this system is its portability. Because the cut relies on a chemical reaction between the oxygen and the rod, you don't need a heavy welding machine or a power generator to keep cutting—just an oxygen bottle and a 12V battery for ignition. This makes the Slice Torch Handle Kit essential for service trucks, farm repair, and emergency response teams. It accepts standard 1/4" and 3/8" Slice rods, so you can switch between sizes depending on the job. If you work in heavy equipment repair, mining, or structural demolition, this torch handle is the reliable partner you need to clear obstructions fast.

FAQ

The Slice Torch can cut virtually any material, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, magnesium, concrete, and brick.

No, this SKU (94370182) is for the Torch Handle Kit only, which includes the handle, shield, and collet. The striker and cables are sold separately or as part of a complete system.

The Arcair Slice system requires industrial grade oxygen to sustain the exothermic reaction.

No, a welding machine is not required. You only need a 12-volt battery (like a car battery) to ignite the rod. Once lit, the reaction continues with oxygen flow alone.

The handle is designed to accept both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch Slice exothermic cutting rods.

Yes, the rubber hand shield is a replaceable part, which is important as it takes the brunt of the sparks and slag during operation.

Typical operating pressure is around 80 PSI, but this can vary slightly depending on the rod size and the material being cut.

While exothermic cutting can be done underwater, the standard Slice torch handle is primarily designed for surface use. Specific underwater equipment is recommended for submerged applications.
