(green)
Use these cartridges for more precise metal
removal, shallow gouge profiles, and light
metal washing.
A slower gouging speed is recommended,
but the diffuse plasma arc gives better
visibility than Maximum Removal cartridges.
If you are learning to gouge, start with
Maximum Control cartridges.
Maximum Removal
