CS2618 - Victor CutSkill Airco Style 261-8 Acetylene Cutting Tip, Size 8

Heavy-Duty Precision for Airco Systems

The Victor CutSkill CS2618 is a premium replacement cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication and demolition. Engineered as a direct replacement for Airco Style 261 tips, this component ensures seamless compatibility with existing Airco torch setups. The CS2618 is a Size 8 tip, placing it at the upper end of the capacity spectrum, designed specifically for severing thick steel sections ranging approximately from 10 to 12 inches in depth. This makes it an essential consumable for shipyards, structural steel yards, and heavy equipment repair facilities where deep cutting penetration is required.

Manufactured under the Victor CutSkill brand, this tip represents a balance of professional-grade performance and economic value. The tip features a one-piece copper construction, which is the industry standard for acetylene gas applications. Copper provides superior thermal conductivity, helping the tip run cooler and extending its service life even under the high-heat conditions generated during heavy cutting. The preheat holes are precision-drilled to ensure a uniform flame pattern, allowing for quick starts and stable cutting streams. The seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to prevent gas leaks and backfires, ensuring operator safety and equipment longevity.

Choosing the correct tip series and size is critical for oxy-fuel efficiency. The 261 series is distinct from other Airco styles, and the CS2618 ensures that operators do not have to compromise on fit or performance. Whether used for scrapping large machinery or preparing thick plate for welding, this tip delivers the concentrated heat and oxygen stream necessary for clean, efficient cuts. It is an indispensable tool for professionals who rely on their Airco equipment for heavy-duty tasks.
