0330-0184 - Victor Size 10 Type 218 Machine Cutting Tip for Propane/Natural Gas

Heavy-Duty Industrial Machine Cutting Tip

The Victor 10-1-218 Cutting Tip (SKU: 0330-0184) is a premium consumable designed for high-capacity industrial cutting applications. Engineered by Victor Technologies, a leader in gas equipment, this tip belongs to the Type 218 family, specifically developed for machine torches utilizing Natural Gas or Propane. The "10" designation indicates a massive orifice size, capable of severing extremely thick carbon steel plates, typically in the range of 10 to 12 inches, making it an essential component for heavy fabrication, scrap processing, and steel service centers.

This tip features a robust two-piece construction, consisting of a brass outer shell and a copper inner insert. This design is critical for alternative fuels like propane and natural gas, which burn at different velocities compared to acetylene. The recessed tip end protects the seating surfaces from damage and flashback, while the precision-machined splines ensure a stable preheat flame and a powerful, coherent cutting oxygen stream. As a Series 1 tip, it is compatible with standard Victor machine torches such as the MT 200, MT 300, and other industry-standard equipment requiring Series 1 seating.

Procuring the correct cutting tip is vital for operational efficiency. The 10-1-218 is optimized to handle the slower preheat characteristics of alternative fuels by maximizing heat transfer to the workpiece. This results in cleaner cuts with less slag accumulation, reducing post-cut grinding and machining time. For facilities transitioning away from acetylene due to cost or safety concerns, the Type 218 series provides a reliable, high-performance solution for automated cutting tables.
