OVERVIEW

Victor Style 1-218-6 Propane Tip: Precision & Power

Upgrade your cutting setup with the Victor CutSkill 1-218-6, a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed for Propane and Natural Gas service. Identified by the industry-standard "1-218" configuration, this Size 6 tip is a powerhouse, rated for cutting steel thicknesses between 6 inches (152 mm) and 8 inches (203 mm). It is the perfect solution for welders and fabricators looking to maximize the efficiency of their oxy-fuel systems without the expense of acetylene.

The CS12186 tip utilizes a specialized two-piece design consisting of a splined brass inner part and a copper outer shell. This configuration is essential for alternative fuels, as it allows for the proper mixing and velocity of the preheat gases, preventing flame instability and ensuring a focused heat zone. The result is a tip that starts cuts faster and maintains a cleaner kerf through thick plate, reducing the need for extensive grinding or post-cut cleanup.

Compatibility is key in any shop, and the 1-218-6 fits all Victor Series 1 cutting attachments and straight torches. This universal fit means you can easily swap it into your existing Victor, Victor CutSkill, or compatible aftermarket torches without needing adapters. Built to withstand high heat and reflective slag, the tip's durable construction minimizes fouling and extends the interval between cleanings. For heavy-duty cutting tasks where depth and fuel economy matter, the Victor CutSkill 1-218-6 is the dependable choice.

No, this is a standard cutting tip. For gouging applications, you would need a specific gouging tip (often Series 1-118 or similar) designed with a different bore angle.

For a Size 6 tip cutting 6-8 inch steel, recommended cutting oxygen pressure is typically between 45 and 55 PSI, depending on the specific torch and conditions.
