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.

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.
