OVERVIEW

Smith MC40-1 Medium Duty Cutting Tip - Size 1

Maximize the performance of your Smith Medium Duty torch outfit with the MC40-1 cutting tip. Designed for welders and fabricators who prefer the economy and availability of Propane or Natural Gas, this tip delivers clean, slag-free cuts on steel plate and pipe. The MC40-1 is a Size 1 tip, capable of handling material thicknesses between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of general repair and fabrication tasks.

The tip utilizes a two-piece construction method, separating the preheat slots from the cutting oxygen bore via an inner member. This configuration allows for the specific flow requirements of propane and natural gas, which burn at different velocities than acetylene. The result is a stable preheat cone that brings the base metal to ignition temperature quickly without blowing out. The tip threads easily into Smith MC-series cutting attachments, providing a solid mechanical connection that conducts heat away from the tip face to prolong consumable life. When your project demands the cost-effectiveness of propane without sacrificing cut quality, the Smith MC40-1 is the professional's choice.

The tip has a threaded base. Simply screw it into the head of your Smith Medium Duty cutting attachment and tighten it securely with a wrench.

While it produces heat, it is a cutting tip. For dedicated heating applications, a rosebud heating tip designed for the specific gas is more efficient.

MC12 tips are one-piece tips designed for Acetylene. MC40 tips are two-piece tips designed for Propane and Natural Gas.
