OVERVIEW

ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-6: The Standard for High-Speed Machine Cutting

Maximize the potential of your oxy-fuel cutting machine with the ESAB Oxweld 1566HS Size 6 Cutting Tip. Identified by part number 639607, this nozzle represents the pinnacle of gas cutting technology for Propane and Natural Gas service. The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating that this tip utilizes a curtained oxygen stream or divergent bore technology to maintain a coherent cutting jet over longer distances. This results in straighter cuts, narrower kerfs, and the ability to cut at significantly higher travel speeds than conventional tips.

The Size 6 configuration is a heavy-hitter in the fabrication world, capable of piercing and severing steel plates up to approximately 6 inches thick. This makes it an essential consumable for shipyards, structural steel manufacturers, and heavy equipment repair facilities. The tip is designed to fit standard Oxweld machine torches, ensuring seamless integration into your existing equipment setup. Its two-piece design separates the preheat gases from the cutting oxygen until they exit the nozzle, providing a safe and flashback-resistant operation.

Operators appreciate the 1566HS series for its reliability. Starting cuts on thick plate can be challenging with alternative fuels, but the 1566HS provides a robust preheat flame pattern that brings the steel to ignition temperature quickly. Once the cut begins, the high-momentum oxygen stream clears molten metal efficiently, leaving a clean edge that often requires little to no post-cut machining. Invest in genuine Oxweld consumables to ensure your machinery operates at peak performance and to protect your torch from damage caused by inferior generic replacements.

FAQ

This tip is designed for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

A Size 6 Oxweld 1566HS tip is typically rated for cutting steel plate approximately 6 inches thick.

The 1566HS series is specifically designed for machine cutting torches (high speed). While it might physically fit some hand torches that accept Oxweld tips, it is optimized for the stability and speed of machine operation.

'HS' stands for High Speed. These tips are engineered to allow for faster travel speeds during the cutting process compared to standard general-purpose tips.

The 1566HS series typically utilizes a two-piece construction, consisting of an internal member (nozzle) and an external sleeve, which is standard for propane/natural gas tips to ensure proper preheat.

Use a chemical tip cleaner or a soft bristle brush. Do not use standard drill-style tip cleaners on the splines of the internal member, as this can damage the gas passages and affect flame stability.

This tip fits Oxweld style machine torches, such as the C-32, C-66, and other compatible industry-standard machine torches configured for Oxweld seating.
