Gouging Metal
1. Set the OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL
to maximum.
2. Use the plasma torch with a S24114
Drag Cup assembly or a S24162 shield cup.
3. Bring the torch slowly towards the work
piece at a 30
0
angle, but do not pierce
the work piece. Do not touch the nozzle
to the work piece. See Figure B.3.
a. Blow molten metal away from the torch.
b. If needed, raise the air pressure to
approximately 75 psi to help blow
away molten metal.
c. This process will blow a lot of molten
metal and dross. BE CAREFUL! Blow the
dross away from the torch, away from the
operator and away from flammable
objects.
d. Do not allow the torch cable or body to
contact hot surfaces.
e. Performance is similar to air carbon arc
gouging with a 1/8” (3.2mm) carbon
electrode.
