CS11018 - Victor Cutskill 1-101-8 Acetylene Cutting Tip Size 8

Victor CS11018 Size 8 Acetylene Tip

When your project involves cutting extremely thick steel plate, the Victor Cutskill CS11018 is the tool for the job. This Size 8 acetylene cutting tip is built for heavy-duty performance, offering a cutting range of approximately 12 inches (304mm). It is the ideal solution for welders and fabricators working in heavy equipment repair, bridge construction, or industrial dismantling who require deep penetration and a clean kerf.

The 1-101 series is the industry standard for general purpose acetylene cutting, and this specific model represents the upper end of capacity for the series. It features a single-piece copper design that withstands the intense heat reflected during heavy plate cutting. The precision-drilled gas ports ensure an even preheat flame ring, allowing for quick starts even on thick, cold steel. The central oxygen jet is optimized to maintain stream coherence over long distances, ensuring the cut remains straight and true through the entire thickness of the metal.

Torch Compatibility

This tip is designed to fit "Victor Style" equipment, specifically the heavy-duty 300 Series. If you own a Victor 315FC handle with a cutting attachment, or a dedicated straight torch like the ST900FC or HC1200C, this tip will seat perfectly. It is also compatible with machine torches (MT200/MT300), allowing for automated cutting of heavy slabs.

Operational Tips

• Gas Type: Acetylene only. Do not use with Propane or Natural Gas.
• Pressure Settings: Consult the Victor tip chart for optimal oxygen and acetylene pressure settings for a Size 8 tip to prevent backfires and ensure a clean cut.
• Maintenance: Keep the preheat orifices and oxygen bore clean using standard tip cleaners to maintain performance.

Invest in the Victor Cutskill CS11018 for reliable, heavy-section cutting performance that professionals trust.
