OVERVIEW

Cut Through Thick Steel with Confidence

When the job calls for slicing through heavy steel plate, you need a tip that can handle the heat. The Harris Style 6290 Size 5 Acetylene Cutting Tip is your go-to solution for heavy-duty cutting tasks. Designed to fit your trusty Harris torch, this replacement tip gives you the power to cut through steel up to 6 inches thick without breaking the bank. It’s the perfect addition to any welder's toolbox, especially for those working in scrap yards, heavy equipment repair, or structural demolition.

We know that downtime is money. That's why this tip is built tough. Made from solid copper, it stands up to the intense heat of the oxy-acetylene flame and the harsh environment of the job site. The one-piece design is rugged and easy to clean, ensuring you spend more time cutting and less time fiddling with your gear. The flat seat connection means you can swap it out quickly and securely, knowing you have a tight seal every time you light up the torch.

Why choose this Size 5 tip?

  • Deep Cutting Capacity: effortlessly handles plate thicknesses that smaller tips struggle with.
  • Perfect Fit: Works seamlessly with your existing Harris handles and cutting attachments.
  • Clean Cuts: Delivers a smooth stream of cutting oxygen for a cleaner kerf and less grinding later.
  • Value: Get professional performance at a fraction of the cost of big-brand consumables.

Using the right tip for the thickness of metal is crucial for safety and efficiency. Trying to cut 4-inch or 6-inch plate with a smaller tip leads to messy cuts and wasted gas. Step up to the Size 5 and feel the difference in speed and quality. Whether you are cutting up old machinery or fabricating heavy structural components, this Harris-style tip delivers the consistent flame and cutting jet you need to get the job done right.

FAQ

The Size 5 Harris Style 6290 tip is rated for cutting steel approximately 6 inches (150mm) thick.

No, this tip is designed specifically for Harris-style torches (like the Model 62 or 73). It has a flat seat, whereas Victor tips typically have a cone seat.

No, the 6290 (or 6290A) series is designed exclusively for Acetylene. For Propane or Natural Gas, you would need a 6290-NX or 6290-NFF style tip.

For a Size 5 tip, recommended settings are typically Oxygen: 50-55 PSI and Acetylene: 5-15 PSI. Always consult your specific torch manual for precise settings.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Carefully insert the appropriate size wire into the preheat holes and the center cutting oxygen bore to remove slag or carbon buildup without altering the hole geometry.

This is a one-piece solid copper tip, which is the standard design for acetylene cutting tips to withstand the heat and prevent flashback.

Using a Size 5 tip on thin metal (e.g., 1/4 inch) will result in excessive heat input, a wide kerf, wasted gas, and a poor quality cut. It is best to match the tip size to the metal thickness.
