SC12-6 - Smith SC12-6 Heavy Duty Acetylene Cutting Tip Size 6

Heavy-Duty Industrial Cutting Performance

The Smith SC12-6 Acetylene Cutting Tip is a premium consumable designed for heavy industrial applications where deep cutting capacity and reliability are paramount. Engineered by Smith Equipment (a Miller Electric brand), this Size 6 tip is part of the renowned SC Series, known for its durability and precision in the field. It is specifically calibrated for use with acetylene gas, delivering the high flame temperature required to pierce and cut carbon steel plates ranging from 10 to 12 inches in thickness.

For industrial gas users and fabrication shops, the SC12-6 offers a robust solution for demolition, structural steel work, and heavy equipment repair. The tip features six preheat holes, a configuration that provides a broad, intense heat pattern. This ensures that even thick workpieces are brought to ignition temperature quickly, reducing dwell time and increasing throughput. The tip is compatible with a wide range of Smith torches, including the DG200 and SC200 series cutting attachments, as well as all SC and DG series hand torches and machine torches. This versatility makes it a staple inventory item for facilities utilizing Smith oxy-fuel equipment.

Safety and longevity are built into the design. The tip end is concave, a feature that helps recess the flame slightly, protecting the face from damage if it inadvertently touches the workpiece and significantly reducing the occurrence of backfires. The seating area is designed to resist nicking, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal with the torch head over many changeouts. Whether used in a hand torch for scrap cutting or a machine torch for straight-line beveling, the SC12-6 delivers consistent, high-quality results.
