CS2612 - Victor Cutskill CS261-2 Airco Style Acetylene Cutting Tip Size 2

Victor Cutskill CS2612: Precision Replacement for Airco 261-2

Upgrade your cutting setup with the Victor Cutskill CS2612, a high-performance cutting tip designed as a direct replacement for the Airco 261-2. In the world of industrial oxy-fuel cutting, the quality of your consumable tip dictates the quality of your cut. A worn or inferior tip can lead to ragged edges, excessive slag, and wasted gas. The Victor CutSkill series addresses this by offering precision-manufactured tips that adhere to OEM specifications for flow and flame characteristics, ensuring your Airco-style torch performs at its peak.

The CS2612 is a Size 2 tip, which is the workhorse size for many fabrication shops. It is calibrated for cutting steel thicknesses generally between 25mm and 38mm (1" to 1.5"). The tip features a one-piece copper alloy construction, which is standard for acetylene tips, allowing it to withstand the intense reflected heat of the cutting process. The internal geometry is machined to smooth the flow of gases, preventing turbulence that can distort the flame. This results in a sharp, defined preheat cone and a long, straight cutting stream that penetrates deep into the plate.

Maintenance and longevity are key considerations for any welder. The copper alloy used in the CS2612 is resistant to spatter adhesion, making it easier to clean and maintain. Regular inspection of the seating surfaces and tip face will ensure a long service life. This tip is strictly for use with Acetylene fuel gas; using it with alternate fuels like Propane or Natural Gas will result in poor performance and potential overheating due to the different burning velocities and recess requirements of those gases.
