OVERVIEW

Reliable Industrial Cutting with Smith SC50-1

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.

Key Applications:

  • Structural steel fabrication
  • Scrap cutting and demolition
  • Maintenance and repair operations (MRO)
  • Heavy equipment repair

FAQ

The Smith SC50-1 is designed specifically for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It should not be used with Acetylene.

The Size 1 SC50 tip is rated to cut steel up to 5/8 inch (16mm) thick.

No, the SC50-1 is designed to fit Smith Equipment torches, specifically the SC and DG series hand torches and cutting attachments. It does not fit Victor-style torches.

Propane and natural gas tips typically use a 2-piece construction (an inner part and an outer shell) to properly mix and stabilize the flame for these specific fuel gases, unlike the single-piece design often used for acetylene.

Heavy preheat tips produce a larger, hotter preheat flame which helps in starting cuts faster, especially on steel that is rusty, painted, or dirty.

No, the SC50-1 is a cutting tip. For gouging applications, you would need a specific gouging tip designed for your torch series.

Because it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the inner and outer sections for easier cleaning. Use a soft wire brush or specific tip cleaner tools, but be careful not to damage the splines on the inner member.

Yes, the SC50-1 can be used with Smith 2-hose and 3-hose machine cutting torches.
