SC12-5 - Smith SC12-5 Heavy Duty Acetylene Cutting Tip, Size 5

Heavy Duty Cutting Power with Smith SC12-5

When you have thick steel to slice through, the Smith SC12-5 Acetylene Cutting Tip is your go-to consumable. Designed for the heavy hitters, this Size 5 tip turns your Smith "Gas Axe" or SC series torch into a powerhouse capable of severing steel up to 8 inches thick. Whether you are working on demolition, structural fabrication, or heavy equipment repair, this tip delivers the heat and the flow you need to get the job done efficiently.

One of the best features of Smith tips is the hassle-free installation. Forget hunting for a wrench every time you need to change sizes; the SC12-5 features a Slip-In design that lets you hand-tighten the tip for a secure, leak-proof seal. The recessed seats are protected from drops and dings, ensuring your tip lasts longer even in rough shop environments. Plus, the swaged copper body isn't just for looks—it creates a mirror-smooth path for your gas, giving you a crisp, stable flame that starts cuts fast and leaves less slag behind for you to grind off later.

Safety is built right in. With Smith's in-tip mixing technology, the volatile combination of oxygen and acetylene happens right at the exit point, keeping the mixed gas volume low and keeping you safer from flashbacks. This tip provides excellent preheat performance, making it versatile enough for both steady machine cutting and manual hand cutting. Just remember, a tip this big drinks a lot of gas, so check your cylinder setup to ensure you have enough flow capacity!
