OVERVIEW

Reliable Cuts with the Miller Smith SC12-3

Equip your heavy-duty torch with the Miller Smith SC12-3 Cutting Tip for clean, efficient cuts on material up to 2 inches thick. Designed for use with acetylene, this Size 3 tip delivers the heat and control needed for demanding jobs in the shop or out in the field. Whether you are using a hand torch for scrap cutting or a machine torch for precise bevels, the SC12-3 provides excellent preheat characteristics that ensure rapid starts and sustained cutting speeds.

Built for the Professional Welder

Welders know that slag buildup and frequent cleaning can slow down production. The Smith SC12 series addresses this with a highly polished, swaged copper interior that promotes smooth gas flow. This design reduces slag accumulation on the face of the tip, allowing you to cut longer between cleanings. When maintenance is required, the slip-in design makes swapping tips quick and tool-free. Simply hand-tighten the tip into your Smith SC200 or DG200 attachment, and the positive seal ensures leak-free performance.

Durability and Compatibility

The SC12-3 is built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial work. The heavy-duty construction includes a concave tip end that recesses the flame slightly, protecting the critical seating area from nicks and scratches during operation. This tip is specifically engineered for Smith equipment and fits a wide range of torches, including the SC and DG series hand torches and compatible machine torches. Invest in genuine Smith consumables to maintain the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your oxy-fuel equipment.

FAQ

The Smith SC12-3 tip is designed to cut metal thicknesses ranging from approximately 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches (51 mm).

This tip is designed exclusively for use with Acetylene gas. Using other fuel gases with this tip can be dangerous and ineffective.

It is compatible with Smith DG200 and SC200 series cutting attachments, all SC and DG series hand torches, and Smith machine torches like the SC770.

No, the Smith SC12 series features a slip-in design that is intended to be hand-tightened to form a positive seal. Do not use a wrench.

In-tip mixing combines the preheat oxygen and fuel gas inside the tip rather than the torch handle. This improves safety by minimizing the volume of mixed gas, thereby adding resistance to flashback.

Because of the swaged design, it is often recommended to clean from the back of the tip when possible, or use a specialized tip cleaner designed for the orifice size to avoid damaging the smooth internal passages.

For optimal performance, the recommended flow rates are approximately 170-180 SCFH for cutting oxygen, 14 SCFH for preheat oxygen, and 12 SCFH for acetylene.

The SC12-3 is a one-piece acetylene cutting tip. Two-piece tips are generally used for alternate fuels like propane or propylene.
