Air carbon-arc gouging (CAC-A) is the process of cutting/removing metal through intense heat generated from a carbon arc. Using a carbon electrode, compressed air and a welding power source (either a constant current, constant voltage, DC or AC), the arc created between the carbon electrode and the work piece melts the material, while the compressed air blows away the molten metal leaving a clean groove. The rate of metal removal is based on the efficiency of air stream in removing molten metal and the melting rate.

Only Angle-Arc® Torches work efficiently with the natural angles and movements of the arm and wrist.

Features
• Reliable torch design - market leader for over 60 years
• Natural 15 degree torch angle - greater operator comfort
• Positive grip handle - greater operator feel and ease in positioning torch
• Durable front insulators - high impact and heat resistant, protects the torch metal parts
• Swivel cable - less cable twist and less strain on the operator
• Reduced weight - optimum cable and torch weight to minimize fatigue
• High quality cable hose - best quality cable hose offers high heat and abrasion resistance, non-conductive
• Power and air connection fully enclosed - protects the electrical connection from touching the work when in operation and eliminates the need to insulate with electrical tape
• Head assembly machined from copper alloy having four (4) air holes optimizing the air flow to the arc
• Lever spring rated at 225 lbs. per inch providing excellent clamping pressure on the air carbon-arc electrode
