4.04 Cutting Rods

SLICE Cutting Rods are made of carbon steel, by rolling a steel strip into a rod, and are coated or
uncoated. The coating is made of arc stabilizers and a binder. Several advantages to using the
coated rods with power include:
• More efficient cutting rates (more cut per inch of rod burnt and more cut per minute of burn time)
• Easier rod operation
• Protection from burning out on the side of the rod, especially when piercing
