Oxweld 1566HS Size 2 Machine Cutting Tip for Propane and Natural Gas

Maximize Cutting Speed with Oxweld 1566HS Series

Fabricators and welders seeking to optimize their machine cutting setups turn to the ESAB Oxweld 1566HS Series Size 2 Nozzle. This high-performance cutting tip is engineered to deliver superior results when using alternate fuels like Propane and Natural Gas. If your operation utilizes machine torches for consistent, straight-line, or shape cutting, the 1566HS series provides the speed and reliability needed to keep projects on schedule. The Size 2 tip is specifically designed to handle material thicknesses of 2 inches, a common requirement in heavy fabrication and equipment manufacturing.

One of the standout features of this nozzle is its high-speed capability. Capable of sustaining cutting speeds of 12 to 17 inches per minute, it allows machine operators to maximize the efficiency of their cutting tables. The high preheat characteristic is equally important; it provides the thermal energy necessary to quickly bring the steel to ignition temperature, even if the plate surface is less than perfect. This means fewer interrupted cuts and less time waiting for the preheat cycle to complete.

Constructed as a two-piece tip, the ESAB 639604 consists of a brass inner member with splines for gas flow and a copper outer shell. This design is standard for alternate fuel tips, as it allows the preheat flame to anchor properly and protects the tip from the intense heat of the process. The nozzle operates efficiently with a total oxygen consumption of 265-285 CFH and a fuel consumption of 8-15 CFH. Whether you are cutting parts for structural assemblies or processing plate for heavy machinery, the Oxweld 1566HS Size 2 nozzle delivers clean, precise cuts with minimal slag, reducing the need for secondary grinding and finishing.
