ESAB Oxweld C-66 Heavy-Duty Scrap Torch, 48-Inch, 180-Degree Head

The Ultimate Scrap Yard Workhorse

If your job involves cutting through feet—not inches—of steel, the ESAB Oxweld C-66-1400-48-180 is the torch you need in your arsenal. This isn't your average fabrication torch; it is an extra heavy-duty beast designed for the brutal reality of scrap cutting and steel mill production. With the part number 718322, this 48-inch torch provides the reach and power necessary to tackle the biggest jobs safely and efficiently. Whether you are breaking down heavy machinery, processing ladle skulls, or cutting risers, the C-66 delivers consistent power day in and day out.

Built for the Thickest Cuts

Standard torches bottom out at a few inches of steel, but the Oxweld C-66 starts where others fail. It is rated to cut steel ranging from 3 inches all the way up to 28 inches. This incredible range is made possible by its high-flow design and compatibility with 1400 Series tips. The 180-degree straight head is perfect for gouging out defects or making straight-down cuts in tight spaces where an angled head wouldn't fit. Plus, the innovative off-center head allows you to widen your cut path just by twisting the torch handle, preventing the tip from getting stuck in deep cuts.

Safety and Reach

Heat is the enemy of endurance. The 48-inch length of this model serves a dual purpose: it allows you to reach difficult spots without climbing over dangerous scrap, and more importantly, it keeps you away from the molten spray and intense heat of heavy cutting. This reduces operator fatigue and PPE damage, allowing for longer, more productive shifts.

Fuel Versatility

Designed for alternate fuels like Propane and Natural Gas, this torch helps you save on fuel costs without sacrificing performance. Alternate fuels are often preferred for heavy scrap cutting due to their stability and availability. The ESAB C-66-1400 maximizes the potential of these gases, delivering a hot, driving flame that punches through rust, scale, and solid steel with ease. Equip your team with the industry standard for heavy-duty cutting—choose the ESAB Oxweld C-66.
