CS6290NX5 - Victor CutSkill 6290NX Size 5 Propane Cutting Tip

Victor CutSkill CS6290NX5: Precision Harris-Style Engineering

The Victor CutSkill CS6290NX5 is a premium aftermarket cutting tip designed to replicate the performance and fitment of the industry-standard Harris 6290NX series. Engineered specifically for alternative fuels, this tip is essential for industrial environments utilizing Propane, Natural Gas, or Propylene rather than Acetylene. The "NX" designation indicates a two-piece construction, which is critical for these fuel gases. Unlike Acetylene, alternative fuels require a specific recess and skirt design to anchor the flame and allow for efficient mixing and preheating. The CS6290NX5 features a heavy copper outer shell and a brass inner member, precision-machined to ensure a stable preheat flame even in drafty conditions.

With a Size 5 classification, this tip is built for heavy-duty applications. It is capable of severing thick steel plates, typically in the range of 6 to 8 inches, depending on gas pressure and torch configuration. This makes it a staple in scrap yards, heavy manufacturing, and structural steel demolition where deep cutting penetration is required. The manufacturing tolerances employed by Victor ensure that the oxygen stream remains laminar and centered, providing a clean kerf with minimal slag accumulation. This reduces post-cut grinding and machining time, directly impacting operational efficiency.

Operators familiar with Harris equipment will appreciate the seamless compatibility. The CS6290NX5 fits standard Harris cutting attachments and hand torches that accept the 6290 style seat. By choosing the Victor CutSkill line, facilities can maintain high operational standards and safety compliance while managing consumable costs effectively. The tip's robust design withstands the high heat reflection associated with heavy plate cutting, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance shift after shift.
