OVERVIEW

Technical Overview: Victor Cutskill CS1641

The Victor Cutskill CS1641 is a direct replacement cutting tip for Airco Style 164 series torches. This Size 1 tip is engineered for oxy-acetylene cutting processes, specifically targeting applications requiring heavy preheat characteristics. The heavy preheat design facilitates the cutting of dirty, scaled, or heavily rusted plate by providing a more robust preheat flame pattern compared to standard general-purpose tips.

Operational Specifications

This tip is rated for a cutting capacity of up to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). It features a precision-drilled cutting oxygen orifice with a #57 drill size, ensuring a consistent and high-velocity oxygen stream. For optimal performance, the manufacturer recommends an oxygen pressure setting of 40 psig and an acetylene fuel pressure of 3 psig. Under these parameters, operators can achieve travel speeds between 17 and 20 inches per minute, depending on the material condition and operator skill.

Compatibility and Construction

As part of the Victor Cutskill line, the CS1641 is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure safety and reliability. It is fully compatible with torch handles and cutting attachments designed to accept Airco 164 series tips. The copper construction ensures excellent heat dissipation and durability in high-temperature environments. This tip is an essential consumable for fabricators and MRO professionals utilizing Airco-style equipment for structural steel, scrap cutting, and maintenance applications.

FAQ

The CS1641 is designed to fit Airco style torches that accept the 164 series cutting tips.

This Size 1 tip is rated for cutting steel up to 1/2 inch thick.

This tip is designed exclusively for use with Acetylene gas.

The recommended settings are 40 psig for Oxygen and 3 psig for Acetylene.

Heavy preheat means the tip produces a more intense preheating flame, which helps when cutting dirty, rusty, or coated metals that require more heat to maintain the reaction.

No, this is a Victor Cutskill brand part manufactured to be compatible with Airco style equipment.

The cutting oxygen orifice has a drill size of 57.

Use a standard tip cleaner set designed for oxy-acetylene tips. Carefully insert the appropriate size wire into the preheat and cutting holes to remove slag or carbon buildup without deforming the holes.
