CS31180 - Victor Cutskill 3-118-0 Acetylene Gouging & Scarfing Tip

Precision Metal Removal with Victor Cutskill

The Victor Cutskill CS31180 3-118-0 Acetylene Gouging Tip is an essential accessory for professional fabricators and welders who require precision in metal removal. Unlike standard cutting tips designed to sever metal completely, this specialty tip is engineered for surface operations such as gouging, scarfing, and deseaming. Whether you are preparing a joint for a critical weld or removing an old, defective weld for repair, the 3-118-0 provides the control and flame characteristics necessary to wash away molten metal smoothly without cutting through the base plate.

Part of the renowned Victor Cutskill line, this tip combines industrial-grade performance with exceptional value. It is designed to fit a wide range of Victor handles, including the heavy-duty 315FC and the medium-duty 100FC, making it a versatile addition to any oxy-acetylene kit. The tip's geometry allows for a controlled wash, making it particularly effective for rivet washing—removing the head of a rivet so the shank can be driven out without damaging the surrounding structure. With its durable copper construction and precise machining, this tip ensures a stable flame and consistent results project after project.

Investing in the right tip for the job saves time and materials. Attempting to gouge with a standard cutting tip often leads to irregular grooves and wasted metal. The CS31180 is specifically calibrated for these tasks, offering a cleaner workspace and reducing the need for extensive grinding after the thermal process. Equip your torch with the Victor 3-118-0 to handle maintenance, repair, and overhaul tasks with confidence and efficiency.
