22123 - ESAB Oxweld C-66-1400 Machine Torch 72-Inch 90-Degree

Heavy-Duty Industrial Machine Cutting Performance

The ESAB C-66-1400-72" 90 Degree HD is a premier machine cutting torch designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Part of the legendary Oxweld C-66 series, this torch is engineered to handle heavy-duty cutting applications with ease, capable of slicing through steel sections up to 30 inches thick when equipped with the appropriate tips. This specific model (SKU: 22123) distinguishes itself with an impressive 72-inch barrel length, providing exceptional reach for specialized automated setups where the torch mounting mechanism must be positioned at a significant distance from the workpiece or heat zone.

Precision and Durability

Built to withstand the rigors of steel mills, scrap yards, and heavy fabrication shops, the C-66-1400 features a robust brass construction that resists heat deformation and mechanical wear. The 90-degree head angle is the industry standard for vertical cutting operations, ensuring perpendicular cuts essential for plate processing and structural work. The torch utilizes a rack-and-pinion barrel design, allowing for smooth, precise vertical adjustments within standard machine torch holders. This ensures that operators can maintain the optimal tip-to-work distance required for high-quality cut faces and minimal slag accumulation.

High-Flow Gas Capacity

One of the defining characteristics of the C-66 series is its high-flow capacity. The internal gas passages are designed to deliver large volumes of oxygen and fuel gas without turbulence, maintaining a stable preheat flame and a powerful cutting stream even on the thickest materials. This stability is crucial for automated processes where consistency is key to productivity. The torch is compatible with a wide range of fuel gases—including acetylene, propane, and natural gas—depending on the specific Oxweld 1500 series cutting tips selected for the job. Whether integrated into a portable tractor unit or a large gantry cutting system, the ESAB C-66-1400-72" delivers the reliability professionals trust.

Application Versatility

While standard machine torches often range from 10 to 20 inches, the 72-inch length of this unit opens up unique possibilities. It is ideal for applications involving deep reach, such as cutting inside large pipes, reaching over obstructions, or keeping sensitive drive equipment away from the intense radiant heat of heavy plate cutting. By choosing the ESAB C-66-1400, you are investing in a tool that combines the heritage of Oxweld performance with the specific dimensional requirements of specialized industrial engineering.
