Our factory tests documented the MAG1200™ as a very powerful cutting tool when it comes to scrap, dismantling and salvage assignments. Our factory tests demonstrated the larger diameter .500" cutting rod was able to cut through a linear foot of 1.750" plate in twenty seconds, or twice as fast as the smaller .375 diameter arc rod below. We recommend the MAG1200™ for plate or related materials thicker than .500". Arc rods are ideal for cutting through thick cast iron which is impossible using oxyacetylene. They cut incredibly fast on A36 plate and stainless steel. Since a welder is employed, arc rods do not require an ignition source. Merely bringing the rod into contact with the grounded material causes the arc and subsequently the vaporization of the parent material.

Anyone familiar with air carbon arc cutting is also familiar with the loud, 140 decibel side effects. Unlike air arc gouging or carbon arc gouging, our oxy-arc cutting rods are quiet and spark spray is significantly less. A docimenter documented the sound at 57 decibels, or approximately the same as welding with a 7018 welding rod. Since the diameters are standard, they easily fit into most exothermic cutting torches using a standard collet. Magnum's MAG2001™ oxyarc cutting torch displays a cable for attaching the negative welding cable for convenient straight polarity cutting. |
