CS1643 - Victor Cutskill Airco Style 164-3 Acetylene Tip, Size 3

Reliable Cutting Performance for Professional Welders

When you are out in the field or deep in the shop, you need a cutting tip that starts fast and cuts clean. The Victor Cutskill CS1643 is the go-to replacement for your Airco style torch, bringing Victor's legendary quality to the classic 164-3 design. Whether you are slicing through structural beams, cutting plate for fabrication, or performing demolition work, this Size 3 tip delivers the heat and precision you need to get the job done right the first time. It is designed to cut steel up to 1-3/4 inches thick, making it a versatile workhorse for a wide range of medium-to-heavy duty applications.

One of the standout features of this tip is its heavy preheat capability. We all know that steel isn't always clean; rust, paint, and mill scale can make starting a cut a nightmare with standard tips. The CS1643 features a preheat pattern that puts extra heat into the plate, allowing you to punch through surface contaminants and start your cut without frustration. With a drill size of 53, the flame is concentrated and stable, giving you excellent puddle control and a smooth finish that reduces the amount of grinding needed before welding.

Operating this tip is straightforward for any experienced burner. Set your oxygen to 50 PSIG and your acetylene to 3 PSIG, and you are ready to run at speeds of 11 to 15 inches per minute. The tip seats perfectly in Airco style torches, eliminating the worry of leaks or loose connections that can cause popping and backfires. The copper shell is built to dissipate heat effectively, keeping the tip cooler during long cuts and extending its service life. It is a rugged, dependable tool that fits right into your existing setup.

Don't let worn-out consumables slow down your production. The Victor Cutskill CS1643 offers a perfect balance of performance and value. It restores your torch's cutting efficiency, giving you the clean, straight cuts that professional welders demand. Whether you are working on a pipeline, repairing heavy machinery, or fabricating custom parts, this acetylene tip ensures you have the power and control to handle the task at hand.
