CS15666 - Victor CutSkill Oxweld Style 1566 Propane Cutting Tip Size 6

Heavy-Duty Cutting with Propane

When you are staring down a 6-inch slab of steel, you need a tip that can handle the heat and deliver the oxygen punch required to blow through it. The Victor CutSkill CS15666 is your go-to replacement tip for Oxweld-style torches when running Propane or Natural Gas. Designed as a Size 6 tip, this beast is built for the heavy jobs—structural demolition, scrap processing, and heavy fabrication where deep cuts are the norm. Because it is part of the CutSkill line, you get the reliability of Victor engineering at a price point that makes sense for high-consumption environments.

Why Two Pieces?
If you are used to acetylene, you might be used to one-piece tips. But for propane, the two-piece design of the CS15666 is superior. The inner brass part has splines that mix the gas and oxygen right at the tip face, creating a heavy, stable preheat flame. This is crucial because propane doesn't burn as hot as acetylene in the inner cone. The heavy preheat on this Size 6 tip ensures you aren't waiting forever to start your cut, and it helps keep the puddle molten as you move across the workpiece. Plus, if you get some blowback or slag clogging the tip, you can pull the outer copper shell off and clean the splines easily, extending the life of your consumable.

Application & Fit
This tip is designed specifically for Oxweld-style torches (like the C-32). It won't fit a standard Victor torch handle, so check your equipment first. It is rated for cutting steel between 6 and 8 inches thick. For the best results, ensure your regulator pressures are set correctly for a Size 6 tip—you'll need plenty of oxygen flow to maintain a clean kerf through that much metal. Whether you are in the scrap yard or the fab shop, the CS15666 delivers the consistent flame characteristic you need to make straight, clean cuts without excessive slag.
