OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Cutting with the Victor CS1648

When you are staring down a massive slab of steel or dismantling heavy machinery, you need a cutting tip that can handle the heat. The Victor CutSkill CS1648 is your go-to replacement for Airco Style 164-8 tips, designed specifically to turn up the power on your propane or natural gas cutting setup. This isn't your average light-duty nozzle; it is a Size 8 beast built for deep, aggressive cuts on thick material.

Why choose the CS1648? It combines Victor's legendary manufacturing quality with the specific design needs of alternative fuels. Propane burns differently than acetylene, requiring a two-piece tip design to mix the fuel and oxygen effectively for a hot preheat. The CS1648 features a heavy-duty copper shell that withstands the intense radiant heat generated during heavy cutting, while the inner brass insert ensures smooth gas flow. The result is a clean, powerful cutting stream that blows through steel with minimal slag and cleanup.

This tip is a direct fit for your existing Airco-style torches, meaning you don't need adapters or new equipment to get back to work. Whether you are working in a scrap yard, on a demolition site, or in a heavy fab shop, the CS1648 delivers the consistency you need to keep the project moving. Stop overpaying for brand-name consumables when you can get the same performance and durability from the Victor CutSkill line.

Equip your torch with the CS1648 today and experience the difference a high-quality, purpose-built propane tip makes on your heaviest jobs. It’s built to last, built to cut, and built to save you money.
