Smith SC Series Heavy-Duty Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip, Size 2

Smith SC40-2 Size 2 Cutting Tip for Propane/Natural Gas

Maximize the efficiency of your heavy-duty cutting operations with the Smith SC40-2 Cutting Tip. Designed for the professional welder and fabricator, this tip is optimized for use with propane and natural gas, offering a cost-effective alternative to acetylene without sacrificing cutting quality. The Size 2 orifice is calibrated to cut through material up to 1-1/4 inches thick, making it a versatile choice for structural steel work, demolition, and general heavy fabrication. As part of the renowned Smith SC Series, this consumable is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use.

The SC40-2 features a robust two-piece construction that separates the preheat splines from the outer shell. This is essential for propane and natural gas applications, as it allows for a medium preheat flame that properly prepares the base metal for cutting. The tip also boasts a fully swaged smooth bore, which promotes laminar gas flow. This results in a tighter, more coherent cutting stream that produces cleaner edges and requires less post-cut grinding. The smooth finish also resists slag build-up, allowing for easier cleaning and longer intervals between maintenance.

Compatibility is key for busy shops, and the SC40-2 fits seamlessly with all Smith heavy-duty combination torches, including the legendary "Gas Axe" hand torches and SC/DG series handles. The tip's design also includes a recessed, concave face which helps prevent backfires and protects the tip seating surface from damage during rough handling. By choosing genuine Smith consumables, you ensure that your equipment operates at peak safety and efficiency, delivering consistent results cut after cut.
