Precision Acetylene Gouging and Scarfing Tip

The Victor Cutskill CS11188 is a specialized Style 1-118-8 cutting tip designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metal preparation and repair. Unlike standard cutting tips intended for straight severance, this Series 118 tip features a unique configuration optimized for deseaming, scarfing, gouging, and rivet washing. It is an essential consumable for professionals utilizing acetylene fuel gas who require the ability to remove defective welds or prepare base materials with high precision and control.

Engineered for heavy-duty applications, this Size 8 tip boasts an impressive cutting range, capable of handling material thicknesses up to 12 inches (304mm). This capacity ensures that even the thickest structural components can be processed effectively. The tip operates efficiently within specific pressure parameters: Cutting Oxygen requires 45-55 PSIG with a flow rate of 900-1000 SCFH, while Preheat Oxygen should be set to 20-35 PSIG. Acetylene fuel is consumed at a pressure of 10-15 PSIG with a flow rate of 48-62 SCFH. Adhering to these specifications ensures optimal flame stability and gouging performance.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CS11188. It is designed to fit a broad spectrum of Victor torch handles and attachments, including the H315FC, 315FC, ST2600FC, ST100FC, and ST900FC. It is also compatible with cutting attachments such as the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree), as well as machine torches like the MT200 and MT300. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to any inventory serving diverse oxy-fuel equipment setups.

The physical design includes sides cutaway to facilitate the angled approach necessary for gouging operations. With a travel speed of 3-5 inches per minute, operators can maintain control over the depth and width of the gouge, ensuring clean removal of material. Whether for maintenance, repair, or fabrication, the Victor Cutskill 1-118-8 delivers consistent, high-quality results synonymous with the Victor brand.
