The Smith SC50-1 Cutting Tip is a premium consumable designed for heavy-duty industrial cutting applications using alternate fuels. Engineered specifically for Propane and Natural Gas, this Size 1 tip provides a clean, efficient cut on steel plate up to 5/8 inch (16mm) thick. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the SC50 series utilizes a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer shell. This design is essential for alternate fuels, allowing for the specific flame characteristics required to maintain a stable preheat and cutting stream.
One of the standout features of the SC50-1 is its heavy preheat capability. In industrial environments, welders often encounter steel that is not perfectly clean; rust, scale, primer, and paint can all inhibit the cutting process. The heavy preheat flame generated by this tip ensures that the steel reaches ignition temperature quickly, even under less-than-ideal surface conditions. This results in less downtime waiting for the plate to heat up and a smoother, more consistent cut once the oxygen stream is engaged.
Safety and longevity are built into the design of Smith equipment. The SC50-1 features a concave tip end which serves a dual purpose: it helps reduce the risk of backfire and protects the tip face from damage should it accidentally contact the workpiece. Furthermore, the "in-tip" mix design combines the preheat oxygen and fuel gas within the tip itself, rather than in the torch head. This adds a significant layer of safety by keeping the mixed gas volume to a minimum, thereby increasing resistance to flashback. Compatible with a wide range of Smith equipment, including DG200 and SC200 attachments as well as SC and DG series hand torches, this tip is a versatile addition to any professional welder's toolkit.
