0380-0228 - Victor MT318AV 3-Hose Machine Torch, 14-Inch, Acetylene

Precision Cutting with the Victor MT318AV

For fabricators and industrial shops relying on automated cutting tables, the Victor MT318AV Machine Torch represents the gold standard in reliability and performance. When your production line depends on clean, consistent cuts through thick steel plate, you need a torch that delivers a steady flame without fluctuation. The MT318AV achieves this with its advanced 3-hose design. By separating the cutting oxygen from the preheat mix, this torch allows your machine to fine-tune the preheat flame independently of the cutting stream. This means you get faster starts, better piercing capabilities, and a smoother finish that requires less grinding and rework later.

Built to handle the toughest jobs, this torch offers an impressive cutting range, capable of slicing through material up to 12 inches thick. Whether you are processing structural steel, heavy equipment parts, or thick plate for vessel fabrication, the MT318AV has the power you need. The 14-inch total length and 10-inch barrel provide excellent reach and clearance, keeping the torch mechanics away from the intense heat of the cut zone. Because it uses standard Victor Series 1 cutting tips, finding consumables is easy and cost-effective, ensuring your machine stays up and running with minimal downtime.

The 'AV' designation and the lack of a manual high-pressure lever mean this torch is ready for full integration into your CNC or motorized track burner system. It puts the control where it belongs—at the operator's station or the machine controller—eliminating the variable of manual valve adjustments at the torch head. Rugged, precise, and built by Victor, this machine torch is an investment in quality that pays off with every clean cut it produces. It is the ideal upgrade or replacement for aging torches on your burning table.
