A simple method of metal removal by angling the torch to a lead angle of35-45 degrees and using a gouging tip. While maintaining a constantstandoff distance, this allows for only a partial penetration into thework, thus removing metal from the surface. The amount of current,travel speed, standoff distance, lead angle and tip size will determinethe amount of material removed and the profile of the gouge. Can usethe Shield Cup Body with either the Gouging Shield Cap or the ShieldDeflector. Can also use the single piece Shield Cup.
