Getting Started with an Electro Arc Model 2-S Metal Disintegrator The first thing to remember when you have a new (or new to you!) metal disintegrator is that it must match your building’s power.  Our transformers are built at the time of the machine build and cannot be changed.  Power voltage options are: 120 240

The Model 2-DBQT is now the 2-DVQT

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

Use a Metal Disintegrator for Broken Bolt, Screw or Pin Removal

You can easily remove broken bolts, studs, and pins with an  Electro Arc metal disintegrator.   Use your Electro Arc metal disintegrator for dowel pin removal.  For example, to remove a 1/2″ x 2″ stainless steel dowel pin with our 2-DVQT with 20 KVA power supply, you will use a .250 molybdenum electrode.   To do this,
