Eagle Slice Rods | Exothermic Cutting Rods for Steel, Cast Iron & More

Eagle Slice Rods are recommended for:

Demolition and structural removal
Industrial maintenance and repair
Heavy equipment repair
Marine cutting
Underwater cutting
Construction
Fabrication
Cutting rusted or contaminated metal
Cutting coated material
Ferrous metals
Non-ferrous metals

Designed for difficult cutting applications where conventional mechanical or oxy-fuel methods may be limited.

Connect the Slice Rod to the appropriate exothermic cutting torch and oxygen supply.

Initiate the rod according to the cutting system being used. Once ignited, oxygen flowing through the rod sustains the exothermic reaction and generates the intense heat required for cutting.

Maintain steady oxygen flow and advance the rod through the material at a controlled rate.

Use appropriate protective equipment and follow the operating instructions for the torch, oxygen system and work environment.

For underwater or specialized cutting work, use equipment and procedures specifically approved for that application.

Eagle Slice Rods are consumable exothermic cutting rods designed to generate extremely high heat through an oxygen-driven reaction.

This intense heat allows them to cut materials that may be difficult to process using conventional methods, including thick, corroded, coated or contaminated metal.

Why Eagle Slice Rods?

Extremely high cutting temperature — designed for rapid material removal in difficult cutting applications.
Cuts contaminated material — effective on rusted, coated or dirty metal.

Ferrous and non-ferrous capability — suitable for a broad range of metallic materials.

Harsh-environment performance — useful for industrial, demolition, marine and underwater applications.

Multiple sizes and lengths — available for different cutting depths and working conditions.

Slice Rods or Eagle 188?

Choose Eagle Slice Rods when you need high-heat exothermic cutting, particularly for thick, difficult, contaminated or specialized cutting applications.

Choose Eagle 188 when you need portable airless gouging and weld/crack removal using a welding power source without compressed air or oxygen.

In simple terms:
Slice Rods = exothermic cutting
Eagle 188 = airless gouging
