22053003C - Arcair CutSkill 5/16" x 12" Pointed Carbon Gouging Electrodes (50-Pack)

High-Performance Metal Removal

The Arcair CutSkill Copperclad Pointed Electrodes are engineered for the Air Carbon-Arc Gouging (CAC-A) process, providing industrial professionals with a reliable tool for cutting and removing metal. Manufactured from a precise formulation of carbon and graphite, these electrodes deliver superior metal removal rates compared to standard options. The 5/16-inch diameter and 12-inch length make them versatile for a wide range of heavy-duty applications, from fabrication shops to foundries.

Optimized Conductivity and Durability

Each electrode features a controlled copper coating (Copperclad) that serves a dual purpose: it significantly enhances electrical conductivity for a stable arc and helps dissipate heat to maintain cooler operating temperatures. This design prevents premature erosion of the rod, ensuring that the user gets the most out of every inch of the electrode. Designed for Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity, these rods operate efficiently within an amperage range of 350 to 450 Amps, making them compatible with most industrial DC power sources capable of gouging.

Versatile Industrial Applications

These pointed electrodes are specifically designed for precision and general-purpose gouging. They are essential for preparing weld joints by creating U-grooves, removing defective welds, gouging out cracks in structural steel, and cleaning or repairing metal castings. The pointed tip allows for easy arc starting and fine control over the groove profile. Packaged in a box of 50, the Arcair CutSkill carbons provide excellent value for high-volume operations requiring consistent and clean metal removal results.
