The Victor 8-1-218 Cutting Tip (SKU: 0330-0183) is a specialized, high-capacity consumable designed for industrial oxy-acetylene cutting operations. Part of the renowned Victor Series 1 family, this tip is engineered to fit Victor 300 Series torches and compatible heavy-duty handles. With a Size 8 designation, it is specifically calibrated for cutting extremely thick ferrous metals, offering a cutting range of approximately 8 to 12 inches. This makes it an essential tool for shipyards, heavy equipment demolition, and structural steel fabrication where standard tips fall short.
Manufactured in Mexico to Victor's exacting standards, the 1-218 series tips feature a robust one-piece copper alloy construction. This design maximizes heat transfer efficiency and durability, allowing the tip to withstand the intense reflected heat generated when piercing and cutting thick plate. The precision-drilled preheat and cutting oxygen ports ensure a stable flame geometry, which is critical for maintaining a clean kerf and preventing slag buildup on deep cuts.
Operators utilizing the 8-1-218 tip should ensure their gas supply system is capable of delivering the necessary flow rates for a Size 8 orifice. This tip is designed exclusively for Acetylene gas and should not be used with alternate fuels like Propane or Propylene. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning with appropriate tip cleaners, will extend the service life of this consumable and maintain cut quality over time.
