CS6290VVC01/2 - Victor CutSkill 6290VVC Size 0 Machine Cutting Tip for Propane/Natural Gas

High-Performance Machine Cutting with Alternative Fuels

The Victor CutSkill Harris Style 6290VVC Cutting Tip is an expertly engineered consumable designed to maximize the efficiency of machine cutting operations using Propane or Natural Gas. As part of the CutSkill line, this tip offers industrial-grade performance and durability while providing exceptional value. The 6290VVC series is specifically calibrated for high-speed machine cutting, featuring a geometry that stabilizes the flame and optimizes the oxygen stream for clean, precise cuts on mild steel. This particular model, corresponding to Size 0, is rated for cutting material thicknesses up to 1/2 inch (approximately 12.7 mm), making it a versatile choice for fabrication shops and manufacturing environments.

One of the defining characteristics of the 6290VVC design is its heavy-duty chrome-plated shell. In machine cutting applications, the torch often operates continuously directly above the workpiece, exposing the tip to intense reflected heat and molten spatter. The chrome finish serves a functional purpose by reflecting radiant heat and preventing spatter from adhering to the tip surface, thereby extending the service life of the consumable and reducing downtime required for cleaning. The internal gas passages are precision-machined to ensure a uniform preheat flame, which is critical for maintaining cut quality at higher travel speeds associated with machine torches.

This tip is a direct replacement for Harris 6290VVC series tips, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing Harris-style machine torches and equipment. By utilizing Propane or Natural Gas, operators can take advantage of cheaper fuel costs compared to Acetylene, without sacrificing cut quality on thicker plates. The tip's design accounts for the specific combustion characteristics of these alternative fuels, providing a robust preheat that brings the steel to ignition temperature rapidly. Whether used in a gantry system, a track burner, or a portable cutting machine, the Victor CutSkill 6290VVC delivers consistent, slag-free results that minimize post-cut grinding and preparation.
