Electro Arc metal disintegrators are designed to quickly remove broken taps, drills, reamers, studs, screws, and other broken tooling from any material without…
Comparing Electro Arc disintegrating heads
Electro Arc’s Arc-er portable disintegrating head The Arc-er head is ideal for portable use. You can use it with portable or tabletop metal disintegrators. You can also use the Arc-er head with machine tools like CNC machines, Bridgeport, Radial drill, lathe or mill, and directly on the workpiece. This head…
Why Do I Need DC Cutting?
D.C. cutting is direct current cutting, which is a naturally occurring process that moves metal from a positive pole (+) to a negative pole (-) when current flow is initiated (switched on) and subsequently interrupted (switched off). You may not know that this process is as old as the storage…

Did you know you can use Electro Arc Metal disintegrators for more than just removing broken taps? Cut shaped holes, save machine parts and remove frozen studs!
Electro Arc Metal Disintegrators made in Michigan since 1947
Electro Arc is the original manufacturer of Metal Disintegrators based in Michigan. The company’s founder, Harold Stark patented the AC metal disintegration process in 1942 and opened Electro Arc’s doors in 1947. Stillion Industries purchased Electro Arc in 2019, and carries on the quality name that Electro Arc metal disintegrators…
What’s the difference between the LBH head and Arcer Disintegrating Head?
In November of 1966, Electro Arc announced the LBH head. A new fast-cutting disintegrator head for removing broken drills and taps. The model LBH disintegrating head incorporated a bearing-mounted, hardened shaft that increases cutting speed by providing extra rigidity. Simple construction reduced the amount of maintenance this head would need…
What is Electro Arc’s Carbide Impregnator?
Electro Arc introduced the Carbide Impregnator in June of 1964. This bench-type carbide impregnator hardens wear surfaces of tools. You can use this process to extend tool life and reduce downtime and maintenance. Cratering, galling and chip abrasion are substantially reduced. You will find this plug-in-hand tool easy to use.…
What Material is Most Efficient in the Disintegration Process?
First of all, what is an Electrode? An electrode is an electrical conductor, Electro Arc electrodes, formerly referred to as Disintrodes, are hollow tubing made of graphite, copper, or Molybdenum. Electro Arc machines will operate with any material that conducts electricity as the electrode. Metal disintegration works on the principle…
Black VS clear Splash bags for your metal disintegrator
What is a splash bag? Electro Arc metal disintegrators use a thick clear or black “splash bag” to contain the coolant which is continually running through your Electro Arc metal disintegrator and the sparks metal disintegration process creates. This plastic bag is custom made to fit the area between the…
