The Arcair Extreme K-5 Gouging Torch and Cable Assembly (SKU: 61-104-008) is an industrial-grade air carbon arc gouging system engineered for the most rigorous metal removal applications. Designed to operate at high currents, the K-5 torch boasts a substantial amperage rating of 1250 amps, making it the premier choice for heavy-duty environments such as foundries, shipyards, and large-scale steel fabrication facilities. This complete assembly includes the K-5 torch body and a 10-foot heavy-duty cable, providing the necessary reach and electrical conductivity required for sustained high-power operations.
Technically, the K-5 is built to accommodate a broad range of electrode sizes, offering versatility for various gouging requirements. It accepts round pointed carbon electrodes ranging from 5/32 inch (4.0 mm) to 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) in diameter. Furthermore, it is compatible with flat jointed and unjointed electrodes from 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) to 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) wide. This capacity allows operators to perform deep gouging, rapid severance, and efficient defect removal on thick metal sections. The torch requires a compressed air supply of 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm²) and a flow rate of approximately 30-33 cfm (0.85-0.93 m³/min) to effectively blow molten metal away from the arc zone.
The design of the K-5 prioritizes both performance and operator safety. It features high-impact, heat-resistant insulators that protect the metal parts of the torch and the operator from electrical hazards. The lever mechanism is robust, ensuring a secure grip on the electrode to prevent slippage during aggressive gouging. The concentric air stream is optimized to focus air directly behind the electrode, maximizing the efficiency of metal ejection and resulting in a cleaner groove that requires minimal secondary cleanup. The 10-foot cable is reinforced to withstand the abrasion and heat typical of heavy industrial sites, ensuring a long service life.
