CSSC402 - Victor Cutskill SC40-2 Propane Cutting Tip for Smith Torches

Reliable Smith-Style Cutting Tip for Propane

If you are running a Smith heavy-duty torch and burning propane or natural gas, the Victor Cutskill CSSC402 is the replacement tip you need in your kit. This is a direct equivalent to the Smith SC40-2, giving you the same fit and performance you expect but at a price point that makes sense for the working shop. Whether you are cutting scrap, fabricating brackets, or doing farm repairs, this Size 2 tip is the workhorse of the lineup, capable of slicing through 1-inch steel plate cleanly and efficiently.

Why Choose the CSSC402?

Propane cuts differently than acetylene, and you can't just swap gases without swapping tips. This tip features a two-piece design with a recessed end, which is essential for keeping a propane flame lit. The recess protects the flame from blowing out and helps concentrate the heat on the steel. Victor Cutskill has built this tip to handle the rigors of daily use, with a durable copper shell that resists heat and spatter buildup better than cheaper generic alternatives.

Get the Job Done Right

• Perfect Fit: machined to seat perfectly in Smith heavy-duty torch heads (Silver Star, Tuf-Tony, etc.). No leaks, no wobbles.
• Clean Cuts: The preheat holes are drilled for an even flame ring, meaning you spend less time grinding slag and more time welding or fitting.
• Versatile: Size 2 is the "Goldilocks" size—big enough for heavy plate but controllable enough for thinner stock if you move fast.

Shop Tips

Always make sure your torch is rated for the gas you are using. This tip is strictly for Propane or Natural Gas; do not try to use it with Acetylene. When installing, check the O-rings on your torch head (if applicable) or the metal seats on the tip to ensure they are clean. A bad seat causes popping and backfires. Keep a tip cleaner handy to clear out slag blowback, and this tip will last you through plenty of bottles.
