Miller Smith SC965 Gas Axe 6-Foot Scrap Cutting Torch, 75-Degree Head

Miller Smith SC965 Gas Axe: The Ultimate 6-Foot Demolition Torch

When the job involves cutting through feet of steel in the harshest environments imaginable, professional scrappers and demolition experts reach for the "Gas Axe." The Miller Smith SC965 is a 72-inch (6-foot) extra-heavy-duty straight cutting torch designed to put distance between you and the intense heat of the cut. Whether you are dismantling heavy machinery, processing scrap steel, or performing salvage operations, the extended reach of this torch ensures you stay safe while delivering the power needed to slice through up to 24 inches of metal.

Built for the Toughest Jobs
Scrap yards are unforgiving places, and equipment needs to be tougher than the steel it cuts. The SC965 features a manganese bronze head that is practically indestructible, resisting the warping that ruins other torches. The three-tube stainless steel construction provides high gas flow for thick cuts while adding superior structural strength to the torch body. Tube supports further reinforce the assembly, ensuring that this tool can handle being dragged, dropped, and banged around day in and day out.

Safety and Convenience Combined
Smith Equipment has prioritized user safety and ease of use. The "Ease-On" cutting oxygen lever allows you to start cuts smoothly, avoiding the dangerous blow-back of molten slag that occurs with sudden oxygen surges. The lever itself is reversible—mount it on the top or bottom for maximum comfort. Perhaps the most beloved feature is the Slip-In Tip system. Forget hunting for a wrench when your tip gets clogged or worn; simply slip the old tip out and the new one in, hand-tighten, and you are back to cutting in seconds. The soft Graf-Tite seats ensure a leak-proof seal every time.

Fuel Flexibility
One torch does it all. The SC965 is ready for whatever fuel gas you have on site. It is optimized for alternative fuels like propane and natural gas—ideal for keeping operating costs low in high-volume cutting—but works just as effectively with acetylene. With a cutting capacity of 20 inches on propane and 24 inches on acetylene, there is almost nothing this torch can't handle. Backed by a 1-year warranty and American manufacturing quality, the SC965 Gas Axe is an investment in productivity and safety.
