Victor D-496 Circle Cutting Attachment for Series 1 Tips

Victor 0383-0006 D-496 Attachment Overview

The Victor 0383-0006 D-496 Circle Cutting Attachment is a robust tool designed to expand the capabilities of standard oxy-fuel cutting torches. Manufactured in the United States, this attachment is built to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial environments, from shipyards to structural steel fabrication shops. It provides a mechanical solution for cutting perfect circles and straight strips, bridging the gap between freehand cutting and automated track torches.

Technically, the device is designed for use with Series 1 cutting tips. It features a secure clamping mechanism that attaches easily to the torch head. The primary arm allows for radius adjustments to cut circles with diameters between 1-1/2 inches and 28 inches. For operators needing to cut strips, the attachment can be configured to guide cuts from 1-1/4 inches to 12 inches wide. The inclusion of a roller guide is critical for quality control; it allows the operator to set the exact height of the tip off the plate. This is particularly important when cutting thicker materials (up to 3 inches), where maintaining the correct coupling distance for the pre-heat flame is essential for maintaining the cut.

The D-496 is compact, with physical dimensions of approximately 2.6 x 3.1 x 16 inches, making it easy to store in a toolbox or hang on a cylinder cart. It is an invaluable tool for field applications where bringing a motorized burning machine is impractical. By stabilizing the torch, it reduces operator fatigue and rework caused by irregular cuts. Whether you are cutting pipe saddles, tank heads, or machinery parts, the 0383-0006 ensures repeatability and precision.
