CS16410 - Victor CutSkill Airco Style 164 Size 10 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Precision Airco Style Replacement Tip

The Victor Cutskill CS16410 is a specialized oxy-acetylene cutting tip designed to replicate the performance and fitment of the classic Airco 164 style. This tip is identified as a 164-10, denoting a Size 10 orifice, which places it in the heavy-duty category for cutting applications. It is engineered for use with Acetylene gas, utilizing the specific preheat port geometry required to maximize the high flame temperature and secondary combustion characteristics of acetylene. This ensures rapid preheating of the base metal, even on thick plate, allowing for faster piercing and cutting speeds compared to general-purpose tips.

Constructed from high-grade copper and brass, the CS16410 features a one-piece design that promotes efficient heat dissipation. This is particularly important for a Size 10 tip, as the reflected heat from heavy plate cutting can be substantial. The internal gas passages are swaged and polished to minimize turbulence, ensuring that the cutting oxygen stream remains laminar over a greater distance. A laminar oxygen stream is essential for achieving deep, straight cuts with minimal kerf width and slag accumulation. The seating area is machined to exact tolerances to match Airco torch head specifications, preventing dangerous gas leaks and flashbacks commonly associated with poorly fitted consumables.

Welders and fabricators relying on Airco equipment will appreciate the consistency of the Victor CutSkill series. The 164-10 tip is suitable for aggressive cutting tasks such as riser removal in foundries, heavy scrap processing, and large-scale structural demolition. By maintaining the correct tip-to-work distance and gas pressure settings, operators can achieve high-quality cuts that require minimal post-cut grinding. This tip represents a perfect balance of durability, precision, and value, ensuring that your oxy-fuel equipment operates at peak efficiency.
