CS2292 - Victor CutSkill 229-2 Acetylene Machine Cutting Tip

Technical Overview of the Victor CutSkill CS2292

The Victor CutSkill CS2292 is a specialized oxy-fuel cutting tip designed to replicate the specifications of the Airco 229 series. This specific model, the 229-2 (Size 2), is engineered for machine cutting applications utilizing Acetylene gas. The tip features a one-piece copper construction, which is standard for acetylene tips to maximize heat conductivity and durability under the thermal stress of continuous machine cutting operations.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CS2292. It is manufactured with precision-machined seats to ensure a gas-tight fit with Airco-style machine torches. This prevents dangerous gas leaks and ensures that the preheat flames remain stable and concentric around the cutting oxygen stream. The Size 2 orifice is calibrated to handle mild steel plate thicknesses ranging approximately from 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches (25mm to 38mm), making it a versatile choice for medium-duty fabrication and industrial manufacturing environments.

As part of the Victor CutSkill line, this product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet industrial standards while offering an economical solution for consumables. The tip geometry is optimized to maintain a consistent kerf width and reduce slag accumulation, thereby minimizing post-cut grinding and finishing requirements. Operators can rely on the CS2292 for repeatable performance in automated or semi-automated cutting setups.

Specifications and Operational Parameters

The CS2292 operates most efficiently with standard acetylene pressures suited for size 2 tips. It is essential to ensure that the machine torch is properly calibrated and that the oxygen pressure is set according to the thickness of the material being processed. The copper alloy body resists spatter adhesion, extending the service life of the tip when properly maintained with regular cleaning.
