OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done with the Victor Style 1-218-4 Gouging Tip

When you need to remove a bad weld, prep a crack for repair, or wash away a rivet head, you need a tip designed for the task. The Victor Cutskill CS12184 (Style 1-218-4) is your go-to solution for heavy-duty gouging with your oxy-acetylene torch. Forget about grinding for hours; this Size 4 gouging tip lets you wash away metal quickly and cleanly, saving you time and effort on every repair job. It fits right into your standard Victor-style torch handle, so you don't need special adapters or expensive new equipment to upgrade your capabilities.

Why choose the CutSkill 1-218-4? It combines Victor's legendary quality with an affordable price point. You get a tip that lights up easy, holds a stable flame, and stands up to the heat of heavy work. The Size 4 orifice packs a punch, delivering the oxygen volume you need to gouge deep and wide in a single pass. Whether you are working on farm equipment, fixing a trailer frame, or doing structural repairs in the shop, this tip gives you the control to remove exactly what you need without damaging the surrounding metal.

Using the right tool makes all the difference. A standard cutting tip just can't gouge effectively—it tends to blow through the metal rather than washing it away. The CS12184 is shaped specifically to push molten metal out of the groove, leaving a smooth surface that's ready for your next weld bead. Add this essential tip to your kit today and stop fighting with your angle grinder on those deep repairs.

FAQ

The CS12184 fits Victor Series 1 torch handles (such as the 100 series) and most Victor-style aftermarket handles that accept Series 1 cutting attachments.

This tip is designed for use with Oxygen and Acetylene. It is not suitable for alternate fuels like Propane or Propylene.

A cutting tip (like a 1-101) is designed to sever metal completely with a straight stream. This gouging tip (1-218 style) has a specific geometry to wash metal away, creating a groove without cutting all the way through.

Size 4 refers to the orifice size. A Size 4 gouging tip is a larger size intended for heavier metal removal, requiring higher gas flow rates than smaller maintenance tips.

While it produces heat, it is not a dedicated heating tip (like a rosebud). It is designed for removing metal. Using it solely for heating is inefficient and not recommended.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire that fits the preheat and cutting orifices snugly but without forcing, to remove slag and carbon buildup.

Yes, it is part of the Victor CutSkill line, which is Victor's value-oriented brand offering genuine quality at a more accessible price point.

Gouging produces significant sparks and molten slag. Always wear a full face shield, shade 5 goggles, leather jacket/sleeves, and heavy-duty gauntlet gloves.
