The Smith MC12-0 is a premium medium-duty cutting tip designed for precision and safety in oxy-acetylene cutting operations. Engineered by Smith Equipment (Miller), this Size 0 tip is capable of cutting steel up to 3/8 inch (10 mm) thick. It is part of the renowned MC12 Series, specifically developed for use with Smith's medium-duty cutting attachments, including the DG109A, MC505, MC509, CC509P, and AC309 models.
One of the defining technical characteristics of this tip is its "slip-in" design. Unlike traditional threaded tips that require a wrench for installation, the MC12-0 can be hand-tightened to form a positive, leak-proof seal. This not only speeds up tip changes but also prevents overtightening damage to the torch head. The tip features recessed, heat-resistant seats that are protected from nicking, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance.
Safety is paramount in the design of the MC12-0. It utilizes Smith's in-tip gas mixing technology, which combines the preheat oxygen and fuel gas within the tip itself rather than in the torch handle. This design assures the lowest amount of mixed gas in the system, isolating sustained backfires to the tip and protecting both the operator and the equipment. The tip is swaged from high-quality copper to create ultra-smooth gas passages, which minimizes slag build-up and promotes faster cutting speeds. Additionally, the concave-shaped tip end helps reduce backfire and resists flameout during operation.
