OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Cutting Performance with Victor Cutskill

The Victor Cutskill CS1646 Airco Style 1646 Cutting Tip is a premium-quality replacement consumable designed to deliver exceptional performance in industrial cutting applications. Engineered to fit standard Airco style torches, this tip is part of the renowned Victor CutSkill line, which combines professional-grade reliability with excellent value. Specifically manufactured for use with Acetylene gas, the CS1646 is built to handle demanding tasks, offering a substantial cutting capacity of up to 6 inches.

One of the standout features of this tip is its heavy preheat design. This configuration provides a robust flame structure that is ideal for special applications, such as cutting through rust, scale, or painted surfaces where standard tips might struggle to maintain the preheat temperature. The heavy preheat also facilitates quicker piercing and faster travel speeds on thick materials, making it a favorite among fabricators and scrap cutters who need efficiency without compromising on cut quality.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of having the right consumables for your oxy-fuel equipment. The CS1646 is precision-machined from high-quality copper alloy to ensure consistent gas flow and a stable flame. With a drill size of 42 and optimized for an oxygen pressure of 55 PSIG and acetylene pressure of 5 PSIG, this tip delivers a clean, controlled cut with a travel speed ranging from 5 to 8 inches per minute. Whether you are working in structural steel, heavy equipment repair, or general fabrication, this Victor Cutskill tip provides the durability and precision you need to get the job done right.

FAQ

The CS1646 is designed to fit all standard Airco style torches that accept the 164 series flat-seat cutting tips.

This tip is rated for cutting steel up to 6 inches (approximately 152 mm) in thickness.

No, the CS1646 (Airco Style 164 series) is designed specifically for use with Acetylene gas. For propane, you would typically need a different style tip designed for alternate fuels.

Heavy preheat refers to a tip design with larger or more numerous preheat orifices. This produces more heat at the start of the cut, which is beneficial for quick starts, cutting thick metal, or cutting through rust and scale.

The recommended settings are approximately 55 PSIG for Oxygen and 5 PSIG for Acetylene.

No, this is a Victor Cutskill brand replacement part manufactured to Airco specifications and style.

You should use a tip cleaner set specifically designed for oxy-fuel tips. Carefully insert the appropriate size wire into the preheat and cutting holes to remove slag or carbon buildup without altering the hole shape.

The Victor Cutskill CS1646 is typically sold individually (1 per pack).
