Precision Cutting with Victor Cutskill CS1384

The Victor Cutskill CS1384 is a high-performance cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Modeled after the classic Airco 138-4 style, this tip offers a seamless replacement solution for professionals utilizing Airco-compatible torches. Engineered for precision and durability, the CS1384 is a Size 4 tip, specifically calibrated to handle material thicknesses up to 2-1/2 inches. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a scrap yard, or on a construction site, this tip delivers the consistency required for clean, efficient cuts.

One of the standout features of the Victor Cutskill line is the balance between quality and affordability. While it serves as a generic replacement for the original Airco part, it is manufactured by Victor Technologies, a global leader in gas equipment. This ensures that the copper construction and machining tolerances meet strict industry standards. The tip is designed for use with Acetylene gas, providing the high flame temperature necessary for rapid piercing and cutting of carbon steel. The flame characteristics are optimized for light to medium preheating, making it versatile for various steel grades and surface conditions.

Operational efficiency is key in any cutting operation. The CS1384 is rated for a cutting speed of 8 to 10 inches per minute, allowing operators to maintain productivity without sacrificing cut quality. The recommended pressure settings—50 psi for oxygen and 3 psi for fuel—are standard for this tip size, ensuring easy setup for experienced welders. The tip's design supports both hand cutting and machine cutting applications, providing flexibility depending on the specific torch setup being used. By maintaining a stable preheat flame and a focused cutting stream, the CS1384 minimizes slag accumulation and reduces the need for secondary grinding.

Safety and compatibility are paramount when selecting gas equipment. The CS1384 features precision-machined seating surfaces that mate perfectly with Airco-style torch heads. This secure fit prevents dangerous gas leaks and backfires, protecting both the operator and the equipment. For those seeking a reliable, cost-effective solution for heavy-duty cutting tasks, the Victor Cutskill CS1384 Airco Style 138-4 tip is an excellent choice that delivers professional results time and time again.
