Victor CutSkill CS15662: Precision Gouging for Oxweld Torches

The Victor CutSkill CS15662 is a specialized gouging tip designed to deliver reliable performance for industrial metalworking professionals. Modeled directly after the widely used Oxweld 1566-2 series, this tip is engineered to fit standard Oxweld-style torch handles and attachments. It serves as a direct replacement part, ensuring that operators can maintain their existing equipment without sacrificing quality or performance. The CS15662 is part of the Victor CutSkill line, which is renowned for providing robust oxy-fuel solutions that combine professional-grade manufacturing with exceptional value.

Gouging is a critical process in metal fabrication and maintenance, often used to remove old welds, prepare cracks for re-welding, or create U-grooves in metal plates. The CS15662 is specifically calibrated for use with acetylene gas, utilizing a preheat flame configuration that rapidly brings the base metal to ignition temperature. Once the metal is heated, the oxygen stream is directed to wash away the molten metal, creating a clean and controlled groove. This size 2 tip offers a versatile range of gouging depths and widths, making it suitable for a variety of maintenance and repair operations.

Constructed from durable copper alloy, the CS15662 is built to withstand the intense heat and back-splash often associated with gouging operations. The tip features a bent design, which is characteristic of gouging nozzles; this curvature allows the operator to hold the torch at a comfortable angle while directing the gouging stream almost parallel to the workpiece surface. This ergonomic and functional design helps improve visibility of the arc and puddle, leading to more precise control over the depth and width of the groove. Whether you are removing a defective weld seam or preparing a casting for repair, this tip provides the consistency needed for high-quality results.

By choosing the Victor CutSkill CS15662, shops and independent welders gain access to a high-performance consumable that integrates seamlessly with their current Oxweld setups. It eliminates the need for expensive proprietary adapters or complete torch replacements. The tip's precision-machined orifices ensure a stable flame and a consistent oxygen jet, reducing the likelihood of flame fluctuations that can mar the workpiece. For those seeking a dependable, economical solution for oxy-acetylene gouging, the CS15662 stands out as a top-tier choice in the aftermarket landscape.
