24084003C - Arcair CutSkill 1/2" x 17" DC Copper Coated Gouging Carbons (100 Pack)

Economical Metal Removal with Arcair CutSkill Carbons

The Arcair 24084003C CutSkill DCCC Gouging Carbons are designed to provide industrial professionals with a cost-effective solution for air carbon arc gouging. Sold in a bulk box of 100, these 1/2-inch by 17-inch electrodes are a staple for maintenance, repair, and fabrication shops that require consistent metal removal capabilities without the premium price tag of specialized aerospace-grade carbons. The CutSkill line represents Arcair's commitment to value, delivering reliable performance for general-purpose applications.

These carbons feature a high-density graphite formulation coated in a controlled layer of copper. This copper cladding serves multiple purposes: it enhances electrical conductivity, allowing for efficient energy transfer from the power source to the workpiece, and it helps maintain the structural integrity of the rod during the intense heat of the gouging process. For workshops handling mild steel, stainless steel, or copper alloys, these carbons offer a versatile tool for clearing away old welds, removing defects, or preparing plates for subsequent welding passes.

Using the air carbon arc process, these electrodes melt the base metal with an electric arc while a stream of compressed air blows the molten metal away. This method is significantly faster than grinding or chipping and is essential for heavy equipment repair and structural steel work. The 17-inch length provides ample material for extended runs, reducing downtime associated with frequent electrode changes. With 100 pieces per box, this package ensures your facility remains stocked for high-volume jobs.

Whether you are equipping a foundry, a shipyard, or a general fabrication shop, the Arcair CutSkill DCCC carbons deliver the performance needed to keep projects moving. They are compatible with standard air carbon arc gouging torches and require a DC power source with sufficient amperage output.
