OVERVIEW

Efficient Weld Removal with the Victor CS15342

When you need to wash away an old weld, remove a crack, or prepare a plate edge for a new joint, a standard cutting tip just won't cut it. You need the Victor CutSkill CS15342, an Oxweld-style gouging nozzle designed to make metal removal fast and controllable. This Size 2 tip is perfect for general-purpose gouging, allowing you to carve out smooth, clean grooves without digging too deep or losing control of the puddle.

Gouging is an essential skill for repair welders, and having the right tip makes all the difference. The CS15342 features a bent design that helps you maintain the correct angle of attack relative to the workpiece, ensuring the molten slag is blown clear of the groove. Because it is made for Acetylene, you get the intense preheat needed to start the gouge instantly, reducing wait time and minimizing heat input into the surrounding base metal.

This tip is part of the Victor CutSkill series, which means you get the reliability of the Victor brand at a price point that makes sense for everyday consumables. It fits directly into your existing Oxweld C-32, C-66, or similar style torch handle, so there is no need for adapters or special equipment. Whether you are fixing heavy machinery in the field or correcting a weld defect in the shop, the CS15342 gives you the precision you need to get back to welding faster.

Why Choose This Gouging Tip?

  • Smooth Grooves: Designed to wash metal away cleanly, reducing grinding time.
  • Direct Fit: Works with the Oxweld torches you already own.
  • Durable: Solid copper construction resists heat and spatter adhesion.
  • Versatile: Size 2 is ideal for a wide range of plate thicknesses and groove sizes.

FAQ

The CS15342 is compatible with Oxweld-style hand cutting torches, including the C-31, C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models, as well as compatible aftermarket handles.

No, the 1534 series is designed specifically for Acetylene. For Propane or Natural Gas gouging, you would typically require a 1535 series tip.

A cutting tip is designed to sever metal completely with a high-velocity oxygen stream. A gouging tip, like the CS15342, has a larger, lower-velocity oxygen orifice designed to wash molten metal away to form a groove without cutting all the way through.

The size number indicates the diameter of the cutting oxygen orifice. A Size 2 is a medium-sized tip suitable for general gouging applications. Larger numbers indicate larger orifices for deeper/wider gouges.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Be careful not to enlarge the orifices or damage the seating surface. Regular cleaning ensures a stable flame and efficient gouging.

No, this is a Victor CutSkill product manufactured to Oxweld specifications (Style 1534). It is a high-quality aftermarket replacement.

Gouging produces significant sparks and molten slag. Wear full protective gear including a face shield, safety glasses with appropriate shade (usually shade 5), leather jacket, apron, and gauntlet gloves.
