Mil-Prep

For cutting, gouging, chamfering, and piercing all metals except for magnesium. Airless and no special equipment needed.

FEATURES:

• All position
• Easy strike and restrike
• Strong arc force
• Airless
• Will not overheat
• Bevels "U" shaped groove
• Nonconductive flux
• Fast and easy

BENEFITS:

• Versitile
• Less stub / electrode loss
• Removes metal quickly which can save time and money
• No additional equipment needed
• Withstands high temperatures, adds some preheat
• Helps eliminate stress in the weld repair
• Little to no carbon deposits from usage
• Quicker than a grinder or drill bit for many jobs

APPLICATIONS

Mil-Prep will cut metals that cannot be cut with a torch including cast iron, stainless steel, and hardfacing. The extremely low carbon content transferred from using Mil-Prep helps prevent carbide precipitation, embrittlement, or cracking which can be caused by carbon absorption. Mil-Prep operates without the need for compressed air (although can be used in an air arc stinger) and is a much quieter operation. In most cases, after using Mil-Prep, the surfaces are sealed off from base metal contamination and require only a wire brush to finish the preparation prior to welding. Some of the applications include: cast iron housing, pumps, bearing races, axle housing, pressure vessels, stainless steel structures, and cutting: bolts, chains, and springs.

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE:

Operate the electrode perpendicular to the surface and push through a piece of metal to pierce. You can oscillate the electrode to widen the pierced hole. Using Mil-Prep at approximately a 5 to 7 degree angle, pushing it on contact, of the surface will gouge out the base metal in front of the arc cleanly. When chamfering an edge, hold Mil-Prep at the desired angle and work the electrode in a saw motion to remove metal. When cutting off a section is required, strike the electrode at the edge, perpendicular to the surface, and with a saw motion, work across the surface.
