TYPE: UNDERWATER CUTTING (Electrode -

Rod can be bent 900 for hard-to-reach cuts or for

Underwater cutting)

cutting around blind corners without restricting the

oxygen flow or decreasing its cutting efficiency.

NSN: 9GD 3439-01-256-3361 (1/8X 14)

MIL SPEC: MILE- 17764

POSITION: All

POLARITY: AC/DC

RECOMMENDED AMPERAGE: 450

USES:

To cut ferrous or non-ferrous metals, concrete, rock,

even the space shuttle's heat shield!

CHARACTERISTICS:

Readily ignited when submerged, this rod will continue

to burn - even without power - until its oxygen

supply is cut off. This advanced cutting rod works in

conjunction with any cutting torch or welding

machine, but reaches maximum efficiency when used

with an oxy-arc cutting torch.
