CS6290G1 - Victor CutSkill Harris-Style 6290 Gouging Tip Size 1

Clear Welds Fast with the Victor CS6290G1

Every welder knows that sometimes the hardest part of the job isn't putting the metal down—it's taking it back off. Whether you are repairing a cracked structural member, removing a bad weld pass, or prepping a plate for a full-penetration joint, grinding can be slow, loud, and exhausting. Enter the Victor CutSkill CS6290G1 Gouging Tip. Designed to fit the Harris torch you likely already have on your truck or in your shop, this tip turns your oxy-acetylene setup into a powerful metal-removing tool. It’s built to wash away steel smoothly, leaving you with a clean U-groove that is ready for grinding and re-welding.

The CS6290G1 is a Size 1 tip, which makes it an excellent all-rounder for general gouging tasks. It isn't too aggressive for thinner materials, but it still packs enough punch to dig out deep defects in thicker plate. Because it is part of the Victor CutSkill line, you get the assurance of quality manufacturing without the premium price tag of some other brands. The tip seats perfectly into any Harris-style 6290 torch head, creating a tight seal that prevents dangerous leaks and ensures a stable flame. The copper construction sheds heat fast, keeping the tip from overheating even when you are working on a long seam.

Using a gouging tip is often much faster than using carbon arc gouging for smaller repairs because it doesn't require a massive welding power source or a loud air compressor—just your gas tanks. It is also far more precise than a plasma cutter for depth control. With the CS6290G1, you can watch the puddle and control exactly how much metal you strip away. It is perfect for scarfing off temporary lifting lugs, digging out porosity, or beveling edges in the field where power might be limited.

Stop burning through stack after stack of grinding wheels. Equip your torch with the Victor CS6290G1 and make weld removal the easiest part of your day. It’s a small investment that saves hours of labor and keeps your shop air cleaner by reducing grinding dust. Just swap out your cutting tip, adjust your pressures, and wash that old metal away.
