Maximize the performance of your Airco-style cutting torch with the Victor CutSkill CS261-5 cutting tip. This consumable is specifically engineered for operators utilizing Propane or Natural Gas, offering a robust solution for heavy-duty cutting applications. The '261' series designation indicates a two-piece tip design, which is critical for alternative fuels. Propane and natural gas burn at different velocities and require different fuel-to-oxygen ratios compared to acetylene. The CS261-5 features a splined inner insert and a heavy-wall outer shell that work together to create a stable, high-velocity preheat flame that resists blowing out, even in windy conditions or when cutting dirty steel.
The Size 5 classification places this tip in the heavy-duty category. It is designed to sever steel plates and structures between 4 and 6 inches thick. This makes it an indispensable tool for foundries, shipyards, and heavy equipment repair facilities where deep cutting capacity is a daily requirement. The tip produces a focused oxygen stream that clears molten metal efficiently, resulting in cuts with minimal dross and reduced post-cut grinding requirements. Because it is part of the Victor CutSkill family, you can trust that it meets rigorous quality control standards while offering excellent value.
Safety and maintenance are paramount in oxy-fuel cutting. The CS261-5 is designed with smooth gas paths to minimize turbulence and reduce the risk of flashback. The two-piece construction also allows for easier cleaning compared to some one-piece designs, as the outer shell can often be removed to access the splines for soot removal. When paired with a compatible Airco-style torch, this tip provides a leak-proof seal and reliable ignition, shift after shift.
