UTP Cutarc-O is a special cored wire developed for gouging in the vertical down position.
It comes in useful when faulty welds have to be removed and grooves prepared before rewelding. The wire works without gas and without compressed air, you remove the material with the arc alone, on weld removal, groove preparation, cutting out defective sections and dismantling work.
- Shielding: self-shielded, no shielding gas
Hold the torch at a steep angle and work smoothly, the gouge then runs evenly without digging into the material. Check the polarity before you start, self-shielded wires often run differently from solid wires. Keep the stick-out recommended for self-shielded wires, too short a one spoils the pool shielding and causes porosity. Previously sold as SK CutArc.
