Use your Arc Welder to Cut Metal Without Gas! ZENA welding system mounted on a tractor
Forget about the time consuming process of grinding away old welds and/or grinding a bevel for rewelding.
These SUPERBLAST rods let you gouge and cut metal without needing a 300A+ 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 SUPERBLAST rods are the next best thing to having an carbon arc gouging torch, oxyacetylene cutting rig, or a powerful plasma cutter with you in the field!
Air or gas free metal working electrode - for expedient and economical grooving, beveling, and gouging without any special equipment. Replaces a cutting torch. Compatible with all brands, and all types, of arc welders.
* Fastest, most economical method of removing unwanted metal.
* Uses a common arc welding machine.
* Saves hours of grinding and machining time.
* Metal cutting / gouging / piercing
* Sheet cutting and fabrication
* Dismantling welded structures such as towers, sign supports, and pipe piles.
* Removing old weld overlays on railroad frogs, crossovers, and switches.
* Preparing work hardened or heat treated dies for welding.
Recommended Welding Techniques:
No special equipment required, use AC or DC straight polarity. The electrode is pointed in the direction of travel and the arc is initiated. For a shallow chamfer, 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 deeper grooves, procedure is repeated until the desired depth is achieved. Remove slag by chipping and brushing

NOTE: These rods will work with ALL engine driven and electric mains powered welders, INCLUDING those 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.
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.
