Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Caldo torch require oxygen?

Yes. Caldo exothermic cutting torches require a standard oxygen supply to operate — the exothermic rod uses less oxygen than conventional torches, but oxygen is still required.

Can the torch cut underwater?

Yes, exothermic cutting works both on land and underwater, making it a go-to choice for marine and salvage applications.

What materials can it cut?

Steel, cast iron, concrete (including rebar), slag, stainless, copper, nickel, refractories, and more.

Do I need special training?
