Victor Cutskill 3-101-1 Acetylene Cutting Tip Size 1

Reliable Cutting with the CS31011 Tip

The Victor Style 3-101-1 Acetylene Cutting Tip (CS31011) is your go-to solution for general-purpose cutting tasks. Designed to deliver professional results, this Size 1 tip is perfect for cutting through steel plate, pipe, and structural members up to 3/4 inch thick. Whether you are working on an automotive restoration project, repairing farm equipment, or performing HVAC installations, this tip provides the control and heat necessary for clean, efficient cuts. Its one-piece design ensures durability and ease of maintenance, making it a favorite among welders and tradespeople.

One of the standout features of this tip is its broad compatibility. It fits the industry-standard Victor 3-101 style seat, meaning it works seamlessly with popular torch handles like the Victor 100FC and the Firepower medium-duty series. It also fits specific setups using the 315FC heavy-duty handle when paired with the correct adapter or attachment. This flexibility means you can often use the same tip across different torch bodies in your shop, simplifying your inventory and ensuring you always have the right part on hand. The tip is designed for Acetylene gas, providing the high flame temperature needed for rapid preheating and fast piercing starts.

Operating this tip is straightforward, with recommended pressure settings that are standard for medium-duty work. Set your oxygen regulator to approximately 25-30 psi and your acetylene regulator to 3-5 psi to achieve optimal performance. The tip produces a focused preheat flame and a powerful cutting oxygen stream that clears molten metal effectively, leaving a kerf of just 0.07 inches. This precision reduces the amount of grinding and cleanup required after the cut, saving you time and effort on every job.

The CS31011 is part of the Victor Cutskill family, a line of products known for offering excellent value. It combines the engineering expertise of Victor with a price point that makes sense for both professional shops and serious hobbyists. When your work demands consistent cutting speeds of around 17 to 21 inches per minute and reliable performance day in and day out, the 3-101-1 is the cutting tip you can trust to get the job done right.
