OVERVIEW

Cut Thicker Steel with Propane Efficiency

When your job requires cutting through massive steel plates or heavy structural beams, you need a tip that can handle the heat and the depth. The Victor CutSkill CS2458 is your go-to solution for heavy-duty cutting using Propane or Natural Gas. Designed as a direct replacement for the classic Airco 245-8 style, this tip brings Victor's renowned manufacturing quality to your existing Airco-style torch setup. It is built to handle the toughest jobs, offering a massive cutting capacity that can slice through steel up to 12 inches thick.

Switching to Propane or Natural Gas for heavy cutting is often more economical than acetylene, but it requires the right consumables to maintain performance. The CS2458 features a specialized two-piece construction that is critical for these slower-burning gases. The outer sleeve and inner core work together to produce a focused, stable preheat flame that brings the base metal to ignition temperature quickly, minimizing start times. Once the cut begins, the large size 8 oxygen bore delivers a powerful, high-velocity stream that blows through thick metal with ease.

Don't let an under-powered tip slow down your demolition or fabrication project. The CS2458 is rugged, reliable, and ready for the harshest environments. Its heavy-wall copper shell withstands the intense reflected heat of deep cuts, while the precision machining ensures consistent gas flow and flame characteristics. Upgrade your cutting game with a tip designed for maximum throughput and efficiency in heavy-section steel.

FAQ

The CS2458 is designed for use with alternate fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

This tip is compatible with Airco-style cutting torches and attachments that accept 245 series tips.

A size 8 tip like the CS2458 is typically rated for cutting steel thicknesses between 10 and 12 inches.

The two-piece design (shell and insert) is necessary for Propane and Natural Gas to ensure proper gas mixing and to anchor the preheat flame for stability.

While primarily a cutting tip, the large flame can be used for washing, but specific gouging tips are generally recommended for dedicated gouging applications.

No, this is a Victor CutSkill brand replacement part manufactured to Airco 245 specifications.

Use a standard tip cleaner designed for two-piece tips. Be careful not to damage the splines on the inner member when separating the pieces for cleaning.

You must ensure your torch is equipped with a mixer or injector suitable for Propane/Natural Gas operation, although the tip itself determines the flame characteristics at the exit.
