CSMC401 - Smith MC40-1 Medium Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 1

Smith MC40-1 Propane & Natural Gas Cutting Tip

The Smith MC40-1 is a premium-quality cutting tip designed specifically for use with alternate fuel gases such as Propane and Natural Gas. Engineered by Smith Equipment, a leader in oxy-fuel technology, this tip is part of the MC40 series, tailored for medium-duty applications. Unlike acetylene tips, the MC40-1 features a two-piece construction consisting of an inner and outer shell. This design creates a recessed flame end, which is essential for stabilizing the burning characteristics of propane and natural gas, ensuring a consistent and hot preheat flame required for piercing and cutting steel efficiently.

This Size 1 tip is optimized for cutting mild steel ranging from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in thickness. It is compatible with Smith's line of Medium Duty cutting attachments, specifically those in the MC series (such as the MC505 and MC509). The threaded base allows for quick and secure installation, ensuring a leak-free connection during operation. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a farm, or in general maintenance, the MC40-1 provides the reliability and precision needed for clean cuts when using economical alternate fuels.

• Two-Piece Design: Enhances flame stability and protects the tip face from damage during operation.
