The Victor Cutskill CSSC503 is a premium aftermarket replacement for the widely used Smith SC50-3 cutting tip. Engineered specifically for industrial environments utilizing alternate fuels, this tip is designed to operate efficiently with Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike acetylene tips, the SC50 series features a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with splines and a heavy-duty copper outer shell. This design is critical for alternate fuels, as it creates a heavy preheat flame necessary to bring the base metal to ignition temperature quickly despite the lower flame temperature of propane compared to acetylene.
This Size 3 tip is calibrated for medium-to-heavy fabrication tasks, offering a cutting capacity range of approximately 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches (38mm to 50mm). It is an excellent choice for structural steel work, scrap yards, and maintenance operations where propane is the preferred fuel gas due to its cost-effectiveness and availability. The tip seats are precision-machined to match Smith heavy-duty torch heads (such as the Silver Star or Tuf Tony series), ensuring a leak-proof connection and safe operation.
The two-piece design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. The outer copper shell effectively dissipates heat, reducing the risk of tip overheating during prolonged cuts on thick plate. The inner spline configuration optimizes gas mixing and velocity, providing a stable, high-velocity oxygen stream that blows slag away cleanly. By utilizing the Victor Cutskill CSSC503, operators can achieve high-quality cuts with minimal kerf and slag accumulation, reducing post-cut grinding and preparation time.
