OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Propane Cutting Power

The Smith SC50-6 Cutting Tip is a premium industrial consumable designed for heavy-duty cutting applications using alternate fuels like propane or natural gas. Engineered by Smith Equipment, this Size 6 tip is part of the renowned SC50 series, known for its durability and high-performance characteristics in demanding environments. Whether you are processing scrap, fabricating heavy structural steel, or performing demolition work, the SC50-6 provides the thermal output required to slice through carbon steel up to 12 inches (305 mm) thick.

Optimized for Alternate Fuels

Unlike standard acetylene tips, the SC50-6 utilizes a two-piece construction specifically optimized for the slower burn rates of propane and natural gas. The outer shell and inner member work together to create a heavy preheat flame that prepares the base metal rapidly, even when the surface is covered in rust, scale, or primer. This heavy preheat capability is essential for maintaining cut speed and quality on thick sections, ensuring that the oxygen stream can penetrate deeply without losing ignition.

Reliability and Safety

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel cutting, and Smith has integrated key features to protect the operator and the equipment. The tip features a concave end which helps recess the flame, providing substantial resistance to backfires and flameouts if the tip accidentally touches the workpiece. Additionally, the seating surface is designed to protect the torch head from nicking, extending the service life of your valuable torch handles and machine torches. This tip is a direct fit for a wide range of Smith equipment, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflow.

FAQ

The Smith SC50-6 is designed specifically for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

The Size 6 SC50 tip is rated to cut steel up to 12 inches (305 mm) thick.

This is a two-piece cutting tip, which is the standard design for propane and natural gas efficiency.

It fits all Smith SC and DG Series hand torches, as well as Smith 3-Hose and select 2-Hose machine cutting torches.

The concave shape helps protect the flame from being extinguished if the tip touches the work, reducing backfire and resisting flameout.

While it physically fits, some documentation suggests the DG200 is optimized for tips up to size SC50-5. Ensure your gas supply can handle the volume required for a size 6 tip.

Yes, cutting 12-inch steel requires significant oxygen flow. When using liquid oxygen, external evaporators or manifolding may be necessary.

Since it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the outer shell from the inner member to easily clean the splines and remove slag.
