OVERVIEW

Victor Cutskill CS1445 Airco Style 144-5 Cutting Tip

The Victor Cutskill CS1445 is a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial oxy-fuel cutting. Modeled after the industry-standard Airco 144 series, this tip is engineered specifically for use with Acetylene gas, providing the intense, focused heat required for efficient piercing and cutting of ferrous metals. The "144-5" designation indicates that this is a Size 5 tip, which is typically reserved for heavy-duty applications involving thick steel plates, structural beams, and substantial scrap material.

Manufactured by Victor Technologies under the Cutskill brand, this consumable bridges the gap between professional performance and economic value. The tip features a one-piece copper construction, a hallmark of acetylene tips, which ensures optimal heat transfer and durability in high-temperature environments. The precision-drilled orifices deliver a consistent preheat flame pattern and a powerful cutting oxygen stream, reducing the need for excessive grinding or rework on cut edges. The seating surface is machined to exact tolerances to ensure a leak-free seal with Airco-style torch heads, maintaining safety and efficiency during operation.

This tip is an essential component for any fabrication shop, shipyard, or maintenance department utilizing Airco-style equipment. By maintaining a clean and high-quality tip like the CS1445, operators can ensure faster travel speeds, cleaner kerfs, and reduced gas consumption. Whether replacing a worn-out tip or stocking up for a large project, the CS1445 delivers the reliability expected from the Victor name.

FAQ

The CS1445 is an Airco-style 144 series tip, which is designed exclusively for use with Oxygen and Acetylene gas. It is not suitable for Propane or Natural Gas.

This tip is compatible with torches that accept Airco-style seating. It will not fit standard Victor, Harris, or Smith torches unless they are specifically equipped with an Airco-style head.

A Size 5 cutting tip is generally rated for cutting steel thicknesses in the range of approximately 5 to 6 inches, making it a heavy-duty tip for thick materials.

No, this is a Victor Cutskill brand replacement part manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Airco 144-5 tip.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the orifices snugly but without force, and move it back and forth to remove carbon deposits and slag. Be careful not to enlarge the holes.

Using the correct tip size ensures proper gas flow and heat input for the thickness of the metal. A tip that is too small won't cut through, while a tip that is too large will waste gas and produce a rough cut.

While it can remove metal, it is designed for through-cutting. For dedicated gouging applications, a gouging tip (often with a bent or angled design) is recommended for better control.
