CS3101000 - Victor Cutskill 3-101-000 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Victor Cutskill 3-101-000 Acetylene Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor Cutskill CS3101000 is a high-performance 3-101-000 acetylene cutting tip designed for general-purpose hand and machine torch cutting. Part of the renowned Victor Cutskill line, this tip is engineered to deliver precise and efficient cuts on mild steel. Specifically calibrated for a size 000, it is optimized for cutting material thicknesses of approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm). This one-piece copper tip ensures excellent heat transfer and durability, making it a staple for welders and fabricators using medium-duty oxy-acetylene equipment.

Compatibility and Fitment

The 3-101 series tips are the standard "Type 3" configuration, primarily designed for Victor Medium Duty torch handles and cutting attachments. It ensures a perfect metal-to-metal seat to prevent leaks and flashbacks.

• Victor 100FC Series Handles: The industry-standard medium-duty handle.
• Cutting Attachments: Compatible with CA1350, CA1351, and CA1352 series attachments.
• Light Duty Handles: Fits J-28 and J-40 handles equipped with the CA1260 cutting attachment.
• Specialty Torches: Also suitable for the CST800FC Strait Torch.

While primarily a medium-duty tip, it can be used with specific setups on heavy-duty handles like the 315FC when paired with the appropriate adapter or specific cutting attachment (e.g., CA2470-90), though standard heavy-duty attachments usually require 1-101 tips.

Operational Specifications

To achieve optimal cut quality and maximize the lifespan of the consumable, adhering to the manufacturer's pressure and flow settings is crucial.

• Oxygen Pressure: Recommended range of 20-25 PSIG for cutting oxygen.
• Fuel Pressure: Recommended range of 3-5 PSIG for acetylene.
• Cutting Speed: Capable of travel speeds between 28 and 32 inches per minute.
• Kerf Width: Produces a narrow, precise kerf of approximately 0.04 inches, minimizing material waste.

This tip utilizes a preheat flame pattern designed for acetylene, providing the intense, focused heat required for quick starts and clean cuts. The one-piece construction simplifies maintenance and cleaning compared to two-piece alternative fuel tips. Whether you are performing HVAC repairs, automotive metalwork, or general light fabrication, the Victor 3-101-000 offers the reliability expected from the Victor brand.
