CS31011 - Victor Cutskill 3-101-1 Acetylene Cutting Tip Size 1

Victor Cutskill 3-101-1 Acetylene Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor Cutskill CS31011 is a high-performance Size 1 cutting tip from the renowned 3-101 series, designed specifically for general-purpose oxy-acetylene cutting. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this tip provides a balance of precision and durability. It is capable of cutting mild steel with a thickness of up to 3/4 inch, making it an essential consumable for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and field repair units. The tip is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring a consistent flame characteristic that promotes clean cuts with minimal slag accumulation.

This cutting tip is optimized for use with Acetylene gas, requiring a fuel pressure setting of 3-5 psig and an oxygen cutting pressure of 25-30 psig. The specific flow rates are engineered for efficiency, with Acetylene consumption at 3-5 scfh and Oxygen consumption during cutting at 80-85 scfh. These specifications ensure that the operator can maintain a steady cutting speed of 17 to 21 inches per minute, maximizing productivity without sacrificing cut quality. The resulting kerf width is approximately 0.07 inches, allowing for tight tolerances in fit-up work.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 3-101 series. This tip is designed to fit a wide array of medium-duty torch handles and attachments. It is directly compatible with the Victor 100FC medium-duty handle, as well as the J-40 and J-28 handles when paired with the appropriate cutting attachments such as the CA1350-90, CA1351-75, and CA1352-180. Additionally, it can be used with the 315FC heavy-duty handle when equipped with the CA2470-90 cutting attachment. This versatility allows shops with mixed equipment inventories to standardize on a single tip series for their medium-duty cutting needs.

The Victor Cutskill line represents a cost-effective solution without compromising on the safety and performance standards associated with the Victor brand. Whether utilized in hand torch applications or machine torch setups, the CS31011 delivers reliable ignition, stable preheat flames, and consistent cutting oxygen streams. It is an ideal choice for HVAC professionals, structural steel workers, and general metal fabricators looking for dependable oxy-fuel consumables.
