OVERVIEW

Victor MT318A: The Standard for Machine Cutting

Upgrade your automated cutting setup with the Victor 0380-0227 MT318A Machine Torch, a heavy-duty solution designed for serious fabrication environments. When accuracy and durability count, Victor's MT 300 series stands out. This specific model is a three-hose torch, meaning it provides separate lines for fuel, preheat oxygen, and cutting oxygen. This setup is essential for machine applications, allowing your CNC controller or track burner to engage the cutting oxygen remotely without manual intervention at the torch head. The result is a safer, more efficient, and fully automated cutting process.

Built for Performance

The MT318A is built to handle the toughest jobs. It features a robust 18-inch barrel that fits standard machine mounts. The torch is rated for a massive 12-inch cutting capacity, making it suitable for processing thick plates and heavy structural components. Its "straight-through" gas path design is a key feature that reduces turbulence within the torch body. Less turbulence means a more stable flame and a higher quality cut surface, reducing the need for secondary grinding or finishing.

Key Features

  • Gas Compatibility: Primary fuel is Acetylene, offering the hottest flame temperature for rapid preheating.
  • Three-Hose Design: Eliminates the high-pressure oxygen valve on the torch for remote system control.
  • Series 1 Compatibility: Uses standard Victor Series 1 tips, making it easy to find consumables for any thickness.
  • Dimensions: 22.5" total length with an 18" barrel and 15" racking length area.

Whether you are retrofitting an older cutting table or setting up a new track torch, the Victor MT318A offers the reliability and cut quality that professional welders and fabricators trust. Invest in equipment that keeps your production line moving with precision.

FAQ

A 2-hose torch mixes preheat oxygen and fuel, and the cutting oxygen is often controlled at the torch or shared. A 3-hose torch like the MT318A has separate hoses for fuel, preheat oxygen, and cutting oxygen, allowing the cutting oxygen to be turned on/off remotely by a solenoid, which is essential for automated machine cutting.

The MT318A machine torch is compatible with Victor Series 1 cutting tips.

The specifications list a racking length of 15 inches, indicating the barrel is designed to accommodate a gear rack or has a rack, although specific model variants (like 'W/O GEAR RAK') may feature a smooth barrel for clamp mounting. Please verify the specific mounting requirements of your machine.

The Victor MT318A has a cutting range of up to 12 inches (304.8mm) when used with the correct tips and gas supply.

While the primary fuel listed is Acetylene, the description notes it may be used with other pressurized fuel gases, provided you change to the appropriate cutting tips designed for that gas (e.g., GPN tips for Propane).

The barrel length is 18 inches (457.2mm), with a total torch length of 22.5 inches.

No, this is a machine torch designed without a high-pressure cutting oxygen valve on the torch itself. The cutting oxygen is intended to be controlled by an external valve or solenoid on your cutting machine.

The internal SKU for the Victor 0380-0227 MT318A Machine Torch is VIC0380-0227.
