In the owners manual of my new welder, it says in multiple places that you can cut steel with it. How do I do that? What attachments or rods do I need to buy?

Thanks
Jeff

You can cut metal with an air arc attachment or with an exothermic gouging electrode. Our gouging electrode is what we call #1250. You can learn more about it on our site, if you desire, under metal working or cast iron headings. Look for #1250.

Thanks for the responses.

I played with it and found that it is pretty easy. I just used the largest size 6013 rod, turned it up to 235 amps, and it blasted right through 1/4 inch metal. It was cool to see all the sparks flying and the chunk of molten metal on the ground!

What is your web site Steve? Please let me know. I tried searching for U.S. Alloys and I couldn't find much.

thanks
Jeff

I cut with a welder all the time, seance I burnt up my cut off saw cutting a plow in half, I use a 6011 rod, and turn it up to around 225 amp or hotter, it just takes a lot of practice to make a good clean cut with a welder.

Back in my youth all I had was a buzz box and I cut with it all the time with whatever welding rod I had just by turning the amps way up. I learned if you tilt the metal your cutting to one side (all the molten slag will run down that side and leave your up hill piece reletivly clean. Although I got pretty good at it I would still rather have had a good act/oxy set up like I eventually got.

Dad ran a machine shop at one time and here's a tip he gave me when using a stick welder for cutting. Soak the welding rods in water before using, they will last longer.

I don't use my welder for cutting very often, ony if I happen to run out of acetylene and can't wait. Rods do last longer and don't splatter as bad. I also prefer using 6011 rod for cutting
