CS310100 - Victor Cutskill 3-101-00 Acetylene Tip, Size 00, 1/4-Inch Cut

Technical Overview of the Victor Cutskill 3-101-00

The Victor Cutskill 3-101-00 (SKU: CS310100) is a precision-engineered acetylene cutting tip designed for medium-duty oxy-fuel applications. Part of the widely utilized 3-101 series, this tip is specifically calibrated for use with Victor 100 Series torch handles and compatible cutting attachments. The Size 00 orifice configuration is engineered to deliver a cutting capacity of approximately 1/4 inch (6.4 mm), making it an essential consumable for fabrication shops requiring detailed cutting on thinner gauge mild steel.

Manufactured under the Cutskill trade name, this tip represents Victor's commitment to providing high-quality consumables that maintain rigorous safety and performance standards. The one-piece design features precision-drilled preheat holes that ensure a uniform flame cone, essential for rapid preheating and maintaining a stable cut. The tip geometry is optimized for acetylene gas, requiring a fuel pressure range of approximately 3-5 psig and an oxygen cutting pressure of 20-25 psig to achieve optimal flow rates. The specific flow characteristics—approximately 3-5 scfh for acetylene and 30-35 scfh for cutting oxygen—ensure efficient gas consumption while delivering sufficient thermal energy for clean severance.

Compatibility is a key technical feature of the CS310100. It is designed to seat perfectly in Victor medium-duty handles such as the 100FC, as well as the J-28 and J-40 handles equipped with appropriate cutting attachments like the CA1350, CA1351, and CA1260. This interchangeability allows for seamless integration into existing equipment setups without the need for adapters. The tip's construction utilizes high-grade copper alloy to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in oxy-acetylene cutting, resisting deformation and maintaining the integrity of the gas orifices over prolonged use.

For industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, the 3-101-00 serves as a reliable standard for general-purpose cutting tasks. Its ability to function in both hand-held and machine torch setups (where compatible medium-duty machine torches are used) adds to its versatility. Operators can expect consistent kerf widths and reduced post-cut grinding requirements due to the focused oxygen stream produced by the internal geometry of the tip.
