Now that is very cool ive not seen that before really useful and great explanation about it. And another great video you’ve done 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching guys!
When will you be releasing a video on your channel?
Our boy is blowing up, comon man been wanting some content
Great video, Anthony! Nice to see you can do a little cleaner video too 😉
Oh shoot!!!! I know that guy!!!!
So glad to see you on their channel!
I have followed this young man for quite a while, he has a great channel.
Another man to learn from on air arc gouging is I C Weld. He is also absolutely second to none with a gas torch so l recommend his channel to everyone too.
Well done Anthony!
Love Isaac!
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Absolutely!
My 15 and 11 yr daughters worked on gouging with Issac this week in Houston. Great family.
Have to make sure the airstream is on the bottom side of the direction your traveling. Never stop learning!
i’m glad to see anthony on a much bigger channel
I used this process working for a company to cut the bodies off old rail cars so they could be rebodied. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. If you get real good you can shave the weld off and leave the factory edge of the base metal.
*Hey sparky, what are you controlling most when you shave the old weld off, the amps? I'm assuming that I need at least 20 degrees diff in melting temp to leave the base metal intact? Thanks*
@@1nvisible1 It's been a few years but if memory serves... The weld has pretty much the same melting point so we've just cranked up the amps. The trick is a steady hand. You use the arc not the rods themselves. Just cut a little off the weld at a time.
Is the air essential? I do not have a compressor.
@@engjds Yes, the air is used to blow the molten metal away from the cut. There are cutting rods that do not require air but I'm not sure how they work exactly.
@@sparkythawelder Ahh ok, so in theory if you cut something on the vertical without air, that might work?
The reason the first gouge didn't work is it looked like you had the air discharge holes on the wrong side of the carbon. Have the air discharge holes orientated so they blow high pressure air underneath the carbon and it removes molten metal much better. When the discharge holes are blowing air over top of the molten metal it makes a mess and doesn't remove metal cleanly. Shorten up the carbon stickout too. Maybe 4-5 inches or so
What he said ^^^^. Air blows under the cut. 😊
Lonny is Correct !
Having issues with vertical gouging for some reason, idk if it's that I'm out of practice or if the gouge is garbage lol feel like it gouges a good 4-6in sometime more than it either dies out or starts acting like it's almost welding it, I'm use to running 250+ to gouge but boss says only 210 just haven't ever had thus problem anywhere else I've worked.
@@dustinmouchette3832
Gouging should be EFFORTLESS !
210 Sounds Very Low.
I was even skeptical of 250+.
Wait until your boss walks away.
Turn it up to 350 Amps.
Verify that you have Plenty of compressed air.
Verify that Gouge rod is sitting Perfectly in the center of the V shaped notch .
Then go !
Good Luck 🤞
Yep not enough amps 1/4 carbon gouging rods require 300 - 400 amps DCEP and the electrode should extend at most 7 inches from the gouging torch with the air jet between the electrode and work piece 80 psi and 100 psi at the torch; higher pressures may be used, but they don’t remove metal more efficiently
I definitely don't miss days of arc gouging in a row😅
very cool simple breakdown of Arc Gouging! I really enjoy the collaborations with Meltin'Metal Anthony!
I use 3/16 gouging rods with my Lincoln ranger 305 works like a champ
Thanks Anthony for the tutorial on arc-gouging. Today I ordered a K3000 setup for my Bobcat 260efi. I’m hoping to do a side hustle when I retire, and felt like arc gouging should be a part of my arsenal of capabilities. Your videos are appreciated!
This is the first thing i learned to do when I started welding. i got good at it really quick and still choose it over using a torch to cut
I remember the first week of welding school the student I. The booth next to me who was a semester ahead was being shown how to do this. Was not warned ahead of time. Was minding my own doing 2Fs listening to some music to out of no where the gates of hell being opened next to me. Was not prepared for how loud it is, certainly west ear plugs if you’re gonna be close to this.
Super cool, vid. Really good explanation of an almost lost art. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🏆🏆🏆
Love your videos , straight up gold my friends !
Awesome video ❤
Good video. I’ve seen it done lots on TH-cam but nobody has shown the set up. I’ve wondered where the air came from exactly. Thanks from the UK🇬🇧
The air is not blowing the metal away, it's the oxigen that literally burns the iron away. THat's the same principal of oxifuel cutting torch, twhen the metal is at temperature you push the oxy lever and a jet of pure oxigen oxides the metal,literally burning it away
Fantastic information, hope to be as good as you some day, absolutely fantastic thanks MMA
Want to anger every yardbird on a ship? Use this. I used to be a turdchaser in the navy and we had to cut these brackets off of a few bulkheads. Did they give us an Oxy/Acetylene pony rig to use a torch? Heck no! MUST use the cigars as we called them. They had excellent ventilation on ships, the bazooka tubes and positive ventilation from a couple of hatches that were left open, but these carbon arc sticks cut right through that. So here I am, a booter, just doing what I was told. Pissed off all the yardbirds until one dwarf looking guy came up with a torch and cut a bracket off for me. I gave him a nod as if to acknowledge that was the best way to do it.
Best video in a while
helped a lot for when I go and have a try thanks
I use a similar setup with a hand shield to blow stuck pins out of heavy equipment. Sometimes 3 or 4 inches thick and a foot or more long. It is amazing what you can do with it. Mine is exothermic slice system. I say similar but not really.
Use 180 amps you don't want to ruin that Miller welder!!
It takes a lot of practice to get it down I have one that I use on my primeweld TIG-225X with smaller rods and it's awesome..
On the first clip of you air arcing you didn't achieve the best results because the electrode holder was upside down. The air holes should be behind the molting puddle blowing in the direction of travel.
Cam be tricky when switching directions the rod has to be switched if too long, it's plainly obvious when you know what's going on, yet hard to catch some times with switching right to left an left to right.
John is Correct
Nice one Anthony
you're not kidding when you say it's loud. It's 120db but. it's also incredibly high pitched. lots of hair moving through small holes. It's a fast process that's cheap to operate though.
Thanks 👍
The air holes on the gun need to be on the bottom of the carbon rod. Keeping the rod at a low angle to blow the metal away from you helps.
Anthony is the man
I prefer using the carbon arc torch to cut metal than with oxyfuel.
Electricity is just that available. What I would use to cut rebar.
My dad was the first to use that system…. When it was invented. Seems he didn’t succeed, I have 2 sitting in storage since his passing. Now I see the setup.
Very good👍
The air holes should be on the back or bottom of the rod.
Anthony has my favorite TH-cam welding channel.
GRAIT!!!!!!🧨
Long leads are your friend, so the noise isn't so close, I love long leads.
Try having the air holes on the bottom of the gouger
I love meltin metal ant 🐜
When you getting started on the new rig anthony?
Can you drop a link for that compressor I can’t seem to find it
I been wondering if my Bobcat 250 could handle arc gouging and this tells me it can at least a little here and there
Im pretty handy with an air arc.
It matters which way your holes ate facing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👨🏾🏭
Find your line and fly at it!
how big is caberarc 332 or 532 or 1/4
We're you been man? Miss your videos
Any chance you can give the polarity? AC?
Use DCEP
Can you use Argon instead of a compressor?
It would be a waste of argon. The gas is only there to spray the molten material off and away.
Thank you for the video... Now go find a big ole loader bucket for some practice. Inside with the curve.😋😋😋
Hi Anthony. I want to start arc gouging for the first time, buying some rods and the gounging electrod holder. What is the minimum amperage I need to run the smallest rods? I have some 200 Amp inverters and a big 10 bar, 150 l tank air compressor, all are 230 v. What do you think? Thanks.
Why would you use this instead of regular oxy acetylene torch to just cut the piece apart
Put the holes on the bottom.
You need to put the air on the bottom of the electrode to push carbon/slag away from what you are cutting not towards what you are cutting and it will be a much cleaner pass.
I wonder if you can air arc gouge with a miller multi-matic 255?
son you need to scrub that welding cap great video make a male connector pigtail cable lead and connect it on the eye of the power cable adapter instead of using a holder
Is that a graphite pen?
Yes.. it's pretty much a giant piece of pencil lead. For real.
Lit
Air should be on the other side, blowing under the carbon and away
First of all the carbon holder should be much closer to the end of the rod. And as someone already said you want the air under the rod to blow away what is melted. Also I've found that going towards the ground helps somewhat. With the stick-out you show sometimes it will blow the rod in two.
Do you really need the air? surely there is some arc force to blast that weld away from you?
And if you get really good at it you too can fix production robot welds for a living and inevitably burn yourself inside of something... flippin Altec, don't miss those days. save your body kids
When I was working for MODOT I worked on a Bridge dewelding sheer connectors on a steel Bridge it was very interesting.
Now when the carbon builds up, that sucks.
Get Arc/Air 2000,made for lower air supplies!!
I wonder if there is a problem with the welder machine cuz the arc looks inconsistent to me and you seem to have a very steady hand , or maybe you didn't bother cleaning the steel cuz the weld quality wasn't important cuz your just cutting it out anyway?
Fastest way of removing metal.
you need bigger power, you ran the rod backwards, choke up on your rod and always blow away from yourself. keep at it.
I bet she does 😂
aka the delete button
Have you watch his foul mouth channel…. When I ask him to watch his language please his very next episode he told us to pound sand… he is not a good representative for your excellent channel
He also isn’t too good of welder. Clearly don’t know what he is doing here but showing everyone the basics. Someone needs to show him first. His mouth is the kind it seems to run only for two reasons 1 distract or move attention away from the fact the he don’t know or doesn’t have the experience to do what he does and 2 to sound tough emphasis on the sound for more dramatics and views. He’s a phony that makes real craftsmen look bad and a shill for himself that prays on folks with zero knowledge for views. He has even said he could do better being a TH-cam clown in one of his videos. I check them out here or there cause it’s like watching a train derail most times.
@@motoz3939 i concur
man i have been wondering
what if i put a graphite electrode from a battery in a tig torch?
can it be used instead of tungsten?
in an emergency or if you are stuck with limited supplies?
Why would you use this instead of regular oxy acetylene torch to just cut the piece apart
