The model 2DBQT was replaced about 18 years ago. It is now called the model 2DVQT. This is the exact same machine except; the cross arms were rotated 90 degrees for greater stability and rigidity. This engineering change was a 30% improvement with the cross arms fully extended. Electro Arc Metal Disintegrators were first introduced…

Uni-Tek Manufacturing Co. started in 1954 in Frankfort Illinois by Harold Sexaur. Their facility consisted of 9000 square feet. Their internal design team was headed by former team members of the original American team to develop EDM technology with Electro Arc founder, Harold Stark. Uni-Tek metal disintegrator machines differed from Electro Arc’s by using DC…
In a Competitive Market Metal Disintegration was Popular in the 1960s Metal disintegrator machine conversions and rebuilds were a trend started by Jiffy Tool Supply Co. during their short time as metal disintegrator manufacturer. They claimed to have converted hundreds of competing machines like the ones above. They also guaranteed them to cut faster than…
Formed in 1955, Jiffy Tool Supply Co, Inc. was formed by John Funke and Frank Bugher who worked with Harold Stark, Electro Arc founder, developing the first disintegrating machine. Headquartered in Royal Oak Michigan, the competition was fierce between Jiffy and other metal disintegrating companies. Jiffy marketed and sold 14 different metal disintegrators and launched…
https://youtu.be/qeOY5_P9NRw My metal disintegrating machine won’t turn on: If your machine doesn’t turn on or trips the main circuit breaker as soon as you turn it on: Double-check the voltage on the front panel of your machine – this voltage must match the voltage of your building for the machine to work. Use a voltmeter…
