Smith SC50 Series Size 3 Heavy-Duty Propane Cutting Tip

Reliable Cutting with the Smith SC50-3

For professional welders and fabricators relying on Smith's legendary "Gas Axe" equipment, the SC50-3 Cutting Tip is the standard for heavy-duty performance using propane or natural gas. This Size 3 tip is built to handle the rigors of daily industrial use, offering a cutting capacity of up to 2 inches. If you are switching from acetylene to propane for cost savings or availability, the SC50 series provides the high-performance flame characteristics you need without sacrificing cut quality. The two-piece design is specifically tailored for alternate fuels, ensuring you get a stable, hot flame that rivals acetylene performance in many applications.

The SC50-3 stands out for its "Heavy Preheat" capability. We all know that time is money, and waiting for a thick or dirty plate to reach ignition temperature can be frustrating. This tip delivers a powerful preheat flame that punches through rust, mill scale, and paint, allowing you to start your cut faster and maintain speed throughout the job. The fully swaged tip interior creates a smooth, disciplined oxygen stream, which means you get cleaner cuts with less slag to grind off later. This efficiency reduces post-cut cleanup time, helping you move on to the next part of the project sooner.

Smith Equipment has also prioritized longevity and safety in this design. The tip face is recessed into a concave shape, which protects the orifices from damage if the torch is accidentally bumped against the work surface. This shape also helps prevent backfires, keeping the operator safer and the equipment running longer. Whether you are using a hand torch like the SC200 or a machine torch setup, the SC50-3 installs easily and seats securely. It is the ideal consumable for welders who demand consistency, durability, and precision in their oxy-fuel cutting operations.
