OVERVIEW

Maximize Efficiency with the Miller Smith SC23-3 Heavy Duty Gouging Tip

When your project demands the removal of defective welds, the repair of deep cracks, or the preparation of U-grooves for heavy plate welding, the Miller Smith SC23-3 Special Purpose Propane Gouging Tip is the tool for the job. Designed to deliver superior performance with Propane (LP) gas, this heavy-duty tip transforms your standard cutting torch into a powerful gouging instrument. It allows you to wash away metal with precision, saving you hours of grinding time and reducing operator fatigue.

The SC23-3 is built to handle the toughest industrial applications. Whether you are working in a salvage yard, a structural steel fabrication shop, or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, this tip delivers consistent results. It creates a clean groove measuring 3/8 inch wide by 1/4 inch deep, perfect for prepping joints or excising damaged material. The tip's design ensures that the high-velocity oxygen stream effectively scours the molten metal from the groove, leaving a smooth surface that is often ready for welding with little to no additional preparation.

One of the primary advantages of the SC23-3 is its cost-saving potential. By optimizing your setup for propane, a readily available and economical fuel gas, you can significantly reduce your operating costs compared to acetylene-based processes. The tip is engineered to maintain a stable flame with propane, ensuring you don't sacrifice performance for economy. It fits a wide range of Smith Equipment handles and attachments, including the popular DG200 and SC200 series, making it a versatile addition to your existing torch kit.

Durability is at the core of the Miller Smith brand, and the SC23-3 is no exception. Gouging exposes tips to intense reflected heat and molten slag, but the SC23-3 is constructed with high-quality materials to withstand this abuse. The heavy-duty shell resists deformation and wear, ensuring that the tip maintains its shape and flow characteristics over time. Equip your torch with the SC23-3 and experience the difference that a purpose-built gouging tip can make in your metalworking operations.

FAQ

The SC23-3 is designed specifically for use with Propane (LP) gas. It should not be used with Acetylene.

This tip is capable of creating a groove approximately 3/8 inch (10mm) wide and 1/4 inch deep.

It fits Miller Smith DG200 and SC200 series cutting attachments, as well as all SC and DG series hand torches and machine torches.

While it cuts metal, it is a gouging tip designed to remove metal from the surface without severing the piece completely. For through-cutting, a standard cutting tip is recommended.

The SC23-3 is a Size 3 gouging tip.

Propane tips like the SC23 series typically feature a two-piece design (an inner and outer part) to properly mix and anchor the slow-burning propane flame.

Propane is often more economical and available in larger volumes. While it has a lower flame temperature, special tips like the SC23-3 allow for effective gouging performance.

This product is sold as a single tip (1 per package).
