OVERVIEW

Clean Welds and Prep Edges with the Oxweld Style 1566-1 1/2

When you need to remove a defective weld or prepare a crack for repair, a standard cutting tip just won't cut it—literally. You need the washing action of a dedicated gouging nozzle. The Oxweld Style 1566-1 1/2 Acetylene Gouging Tip is your go-to solution for controlled metal removal. Designed to fit your trusty Oxweld-style torches (like the C-32 or C-66), this tip allows you to 'wash' away metal smoothly, creating clean U-grooves without cutting all the way through your base material.

Gouging with oxy-acetylene is an art, and having the right tip makes all the difference. This 1-1/2 size tip provides a perfect balance of control and power, allowing you to gouge out old welds or scarf plate edges with precision. The heavy-duty copper construction resists the high heat buildup that comes from working close to the molten puddle, ensuring the tip lasts longer even in tough shop environments. Whether you are fixing heavy machinery, repairing structural steel, or just cleaning up a casting, this tip gives you the visibility and flame stability you need to do the job right.

Why Choose This Gouging Tip?

Many fabricators struggle with using cutting tips for gouging, leading to messy, slag-filled grooves and potential damage to the base metal. The 1566 series is specifically shaped to direct the oxygen stream for scouring, not piercing. This means you get a cleaner groove that requires less grinding before you re-weld. It’s an essential tool for any welder's kit who deals with repairs and retrofits.

  • Precise Control: Create consistent grooves for high-quality weld prep.
  • Durable Build: Resists clogging and heat deformation.
  • Easy Fit: Drops right into your existing Oxweld torch handle.
