Cutting Rods -- 1/8" Medium Cut
Use Your Arc Welder to Cut, Gouge, Chamfer, or Bevel!

Now you can forget about:
the time consuming process of grinding away old welds and/or grinding a bevel for re-welding,
needing (and having to cart around) an oxyacetylene rig to cut metal in the field, or
having to invest big bucks in an air-arc cutting equipment (or worrying about starting fires when using it out doors).
ZENA NO-Gas arc cutting/gouging rods let you gouge, bevel, and cut metal without needing a 300+ Amp air-arc gouging/cutting rig or an acetylene cutting torch and bulky gas bottles.
We can't convert your electrode holder to a plasma torch/plasma cutter but, for field maintenance work, these rods are the next best thing to having an oxyacetylene rig, air arc system, or a powerful plasma cutter with you in the field!
Description:
Air or gas free metal working electrode -- for expedient and economical grooving, beveling, chamfering, and gouging without any special equipment.
Replaces a cutting torch.
Reactionary flux coating creates high level arc blast and forms an electrically conductive "cup" for ease of arc re-strike.
Multiple rod diameters available to allow you a high degree of control over the cutting process -- and to allow use of our cutting rods with small or large arc welders.

Product Features:
Fastest, most economical method of removing unwanted metal.
Uses a common arc welding machine.
Saves hours of grinding and machining time.
Typical Applications:
Cut and groove all metals including stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and copper
Metal cutting / gouging / piercing / removal
Removing bolts/plow bolts
Sheet cutting and fabrication
Dismantling welded structures such as towers, sign supports, and pipe piles
Blowing out rivets
Removing old weld overlays on railroad frogs, crossovers, and switches
Preparing work hardened or heat treated dies for welding
Recommended Cutting / Gouging Techniques:
No special equipment required. Cutting can be performed Flat, Vertical Up, Vertical Down, Horizontal, or Overhead.
Use AC or DC straight polarity.
The electrode is pointed in the direction of travel, angled at a ten (10) degree angle, and the arc is initiated.
For a shallow chamfer, the electrode is moved quickly along line of cut. A slower or weaving motion provides a deeper groove. The molten metal is pushed ahead as the chamfer is made. For cutting use a "sawing action". For deeper grooves, the procedure is repeated until the desired depth is achieved.
Remove slag by chipping and brushing.
Packaging:
1/2 lb. box (7 rods)
Larger packs/quantities available as special order items.

NOTE: These rods will work with engine driven welders made by Miller, Lincoln, Hobart, Century, Esab, HTP, Mitsubishi, Thermal Arc, and other companies. When comparing rod specifications, you will find that they function well with ZENA 150A and 200A welders which are comparable to, and will do the same job as, for example, a Miller 225 Bobcat welder, a Hobart 250A welder, a Century 200A welder, or a Lincoln Ranger 8 welder. Of course, 160A, 175A, 180A, 275A, or even 300A, or 400A welders would be also in the same category. MIG and TIG torches made by companies like Tweco and Forney are also compatible with this technology.
NOTE2: In addition to service trucks (particularly popular are Ford Chevrolet and Dodge Diesels) and all types of 4x4's (including Jeep, International, and Toyota), these rods can also be used with all types of heavy equipment, including backhoes, front end loaders, track loaders, forklifts, and tractors as well as all types of utility vehicle.
