CS2450 - Victor CutSkill Airco Style 245 Size 0 Propane Cutting Tip

Victor CutSkill CS2450 Airco Style 245-0 Cutting Tip

The Victor CutSkill CS2450 is a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed to fit Airco-style torches. Modeled after the industry-standard Airco 245 series, this tip is engineered specifically for use with alternative fuel gases such as Propane and Natural Gas. As a Size 0 tip, it is calibrated to deliver optimal cutting performance on mild steel ranging from approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (6mm to 13mm) in thickness. This versatility makes it an essential consumable for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and maintenance crews that rely on the cost-efficiency and availability of propane or natural gas for their cutting operations.

Unlike standard acetylene tips which are typically one-piece copper construction, the CS2450 features a robust two-piece design. This consists of an outer shell and an inner member with precision-machined splines. This configuration is critical for alternative fuels, as it allows for the proper anchoring of the preheat flame, ensuring a stable and hot burn even at the lower flame propagation speeds characteristic of propane. The result is a clean, consistent cut with minimal slag accumulation, reducing the need for post-cut grinding and cleanup.

Victor's CutSkill line is renowned for offering professional-grade reliability at an accessible price point. The CS2450 is manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure a perfect seal within the torch head, preventing dangerous gas leaks and flashbacks. Whether you are cutting structural beams, plate steel, or performing demolition work, this tip provides the heat control and oxygen stream precision necessary for high-quality manual cutting. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM Airco 245-0 tips, allowing operators to maintain their existing equipment without sacrificing performance.

Proper maintenance of the CS2450 involves keeping the preheat slots and the central cutting oxygen orifice clean. Because it is a two-piece tip, the outer shell can be removed to clean the inner splines, which is a significant advantage over one-piece designs that are harder to service. By choosing the Victor CutSkill CS2450, you are investing in a durable, high-efficiency consumable that maximizes the potential of your Airco-style cutting outfit.
