CS15023 - Victor Cutskill 1502-3 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Victor Cutskill CS15023 OxWeld Style 1502-3 Cutting Tip

The Victor Cutskill CS15023 is a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed to fit Oxweld style torches that utilize the 1502 series consumables. Engineered for professionals who demand reliability without the premium price tag of OEM parts, this CutSkill tip delivers consistent performance in oxy-acetylene cutting applications. The 1502-3 model is specifically sized (Size 3) to handle mild steel plate thicknesses of approximately 1/2 inch (12-13mm), making it a versatile choice for general fabrication, maintenance, and scrap cutting tasks.

Constructed from high-grade copper, this one-piece tip is designed to withstand the intense heat of the oxy-acetylene flame while maintaining its structural integrity over time. The one-piece design is standard for acetylene tips, allowing for efficient mixing and heat transfer. The precision-drilled preheat holes ensure a stable and uniform preheat flame, which is critical for starting cuts quickly and maintaining the puddle on dirty or coated steels. The central cutting oxygen orifice is machined to tight tolerances to produce a coherent oxygen stream, resulting in cleaner cuts with less slag accumulation and reduced post-cut cleanup.

Victor's CutSkill line is renowned for bridging the gap between economy and industrial durability. By choosing the CS15023, operators can maintain their Oxweld style equipment with confidence, ensuring that their torch performs at its peak. Whether you are working in a farm shop, an automotive repair garage, or a light industrial setting, this tip provides the flame characteristics necessary for smooth, controlled manual cutting. It seats securely into the torch head, preventing dangerous gas leaks and ensuring safe operation.

Proper tip selection is vital for safety and efficiency. Using a Size 3 tip for 1/2 inch material ensures that you are not overheating the workpiece or wasting gas, while still having enough energy to pierce and sever the metal effectively. Always ensure your gas pressures are set according to the manufacturer's recommendations for a Size 3 tip to achieve the best cut quality and tip life.
