Arcair began inventing the Carbon Arc Cutting-Air (CAC-A) process by Myron Stepath while stationed as a welding engineer in the US Navy in Bremerton, Washington. Myron founded Arcair Co. in 1949. This was his home garage, a business with one room for an office and a small shop for fulfilling orders. Myron introduced to the public his G-3 electrode holder for cutting and gouging.

The CAC-A process is a process in which a carbon arc is combined with metal to melt the metal, and compressed air blows the molten metal away. This process represented an order of magnitude cost reduction compared to the mechanical metal removal processes of the time. At the end of World War II, Myron had time to work on his own design and refine the hardware into his one usable and efficient handheld tool. His torch was released in 1956 as an H-5 cutting and Arcair gouging torch. In the 1970s, Air Products acquired Arcair Co. and Myron Stepath retired.
In the 1980s, Arcair Gouging Torches introduced the K-4000 Air-Electric-Arc Combination Gouging Combi, and with his acquisition of Arcair by Thermadyne (and Stoody/Deloro) and relocation to Wichita, Kansas, transferred manufacturing to his company and integrated it into Tweco. In 2004, Arcair and Tweco moved to Denton, Texas, and in 2012, Thermadyne and Arcair were acquired by Victor Technologies.
