STARTRODE FORCE GOUGE is a specially designed MMA electrode for mechanical gouging and metal removal applications. It creates clean grooves without damaging the base metal, making it perfect for weld seam preparation, crack removal, or worn-out section extraction — especially in repair welding and maintenance tasks. Unlike air-carbon arc gouging, this electrode works with standard welding machines, allowing for easy use in the field without the need for compressed air or extra equipment. Available Packs: 4.00mm, 5.00mm, 6.30mm
