CS15026 - Victor CutSkill 1502-6 Oxweld Style Gouging Tip

Efficient Metal Removal with the Victor CutSkill 1502-6

When you need to wash out an old weld, dig out a crack, or prep a heavy plate for a full-penetration joint, the Victor CutSkill CS15026 OxWeld Style 1502-6 gouging tip is the tool you want on your torch. Designed specifically for welders who need versatility from their oxy-fuel setup, this gouging nozzle transforms your standard cutting torch into a powerful metal-removal instrument. The signature bent design isn't just for looks—it's all about ergonomics and visibility. It allows you to hold the torch at a natural angle while directing the flame almost parallel to the plate, pushing molten metal forward and away from the puddle for a clean, visible groove.

The 1502-6 is a size 6 tip, which hits the sweet spot for most general fabrication and repair work. It puts out enough heat and oxygen volume to hog out material quickly, but still offers the finesse you need to follow a crack line or back-gouge a root pass without blowing through the backside. Unlike using a grinder, which is noisy, dusty, and physically exhausting, flame gouging with the CS15026 is fast and quiet. The preheat flames are tuned to light up easily and bring the steel to kindling temperature in seconds. Once you hit the oxygen lever, the stream washes the metal away smoothly, leaving a bright, clean U-groove that is often ready to weld over with minimal cleanup.

Durability is key in any shop, and Victor CutSkill parts are built to last. The solid copper construction resists spatter adhesion and stands up to the heat of the job. This tip is a direct replacement for Oxweld 1502 series tips and fits perfectly in C-32 and compatible torch handles. No adapters or special collets are needed—just swap out your cutting tip, set your pressures, and you are ready to work. Whether you are in a heavy fab shop, a shipyard, or out on a repair truck, having a few 1502-6 tips in your kit means you are ready for whatever repair job comes your way. Stop fighting with carbon arc rods for small repairs or burning through grinding wheels; let the gas do the work and get the job done faster with the Victor CutSkill 1502-6.
