CS6290GG3 - Victor CutSkill 6290GG-3 Harris Style Acetylene Gouging Tip

Clean Grooves and Efficient Weld Removal

When you need to remove a cracked weld or prepare a plate edge for a deep penetration joint, the Victor CutSkill CS6290GG3 Harris Style Gouging Tip is the tool for the job. Designed to fit your trusty Harris torch handle, this tip transforms your cutting setup into a powerful gouging tool. Forget the deafening noise and heavy smoke of carbon arc gouging for smaller jobs; with the CS6290GG3 and your oxy-acetylene supply, you can quietly and precisely wash away steel to uncover the root of a weld or remove imperfections.

The "GG" style tip is curved and bored specifically for gouging. Unlike a cutting tip that shoots a high-velocity jet to sever metal, this Size 3 gouging tip uses a softer, wider oxygen stream to push molten metal out of the way. This gives you excellent control over the depth and width of the groove, allowing you to surgically remove metal without damaging the surrounding base material. It is particularly effective for "J" or "U" groove preparation, which is critical for high-strength structural welding.

Durability is key when you are working close to the molten puddle. The Victor CutSkill construction ensures that the tip face resists spatter adhesion and holds up against the heat. Setup is simple: just swap out your standard 6290 cutting tip for the CS6290GG3, adjust your pressures for gouging (typically lower oxygen pressure than cutting), and you are ready to work. It’s an essential accessory for any welder's kit who works with Harris-style equipment, providing a quick and effective way to fix mistakes or prep heavy steel.
