02X67 - ESAB Oxweld C-59 Scarfing Torch 36-Inch 75-Degree Head

Heavy-Duty Scarfing Solution for Industrial Applications

The ESAB Oxweld C-59 Scarfing Torch (SKU: 02X67) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty surface preparation equipment. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of steel mills, foundries, and heavy fabrication shops, this torch is engineered to remove surface defects from steel billets, ingots, and slabs with exceptional efficiency. The C-59 series has long been recognized as a reliable workhorse in the industry, providing the high gas flow rates necessary to wash away metal rapidly and cleanly.

This specific model features a 36-inch overall length, which is critical for operator safety and comfort. Scarfing generates significant radiant heat and sparks; the extended length allows the operator to maintain a safe working distance while retaining precise control over the wash. The 75-degree head angle is ergonomically optimized for directing the high-velocity oxygen stream across the workpiece surface, facilitating a smooth desurfacing action without requiring awkward wrist or arm positions.

Operational simplicity is a key advantage of the C-59. It utilizes a single lever actuation mechanism for torch control, streamlining the process of igniting and maintaining the scarfing reaction. This design is particularly beneficial when operators are wearing heavy protective gear, as it minimizes the dexterity required to operate the tool. The torch is compatible with medium pressure fuel gases (such as propane or natural gas), making it a versatile choice for facilities that have moved away from acetylene for heavy heating applications. Note that this torch is not designed for use with acetylene.

In addition to its primary role in scarfing, the C-59 is capable of high-capacity emergency hand cutting. This dual capability ensures that it remains a valuable asset on the shop floor, ready to handle unexpected severing tasks on thick materials. Compatible with the widely available 1800 series nozzles, this torch ensures that consumables are easy to source and replace, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity in high-volume environments.
