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.
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.
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.
