0387-0005 - Victor CA1350 Medium Duty Cutting Attachment for 100 Series Handles

Precision Engineering for Medium Duty Cutting

The Victor CA1350-CS Cutting Attachment (SKU: 0387-0005) represents the standard of excellence in medium-duty oxy-fuel equipment. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this attachment is designed to convert Victor 100FC series torch handles into powerful cutting tools capable of slicing through up to 6 inches (152 mm) of steel. The unit is constructed with a die-forged brass head, which offers superior resistance to heat and mechanical stress compared to cast alternatives. This ensures that the seating surface for the cutting tip remains true even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

At the core of the CA1350's performance is Victor's renowned spiral mixer technology. Unlike simple injector mixers, the spiral mixer creates a turbulent flow that thoroughly blends oxygen and fuel gas before they reach the tip. This design not only optimizes flame characteristics for a cleaner cut but also provides the versatility to use all fuel gases—including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas—simply by changing the cutting tip. The stainless steel tubes provide structural rigidity and minimize heat conduction back to the handle, protecting the operator and the O-rings.

The connection mechanism features a brass coupling nut with a double O-ring tapered seal. This innovative design allows for a quick, gas-tight seal to be achieved by hand-tightening, eliminating the need for a wrench and reducing wear on the threads. The smooth cutting oxygen valve utilizes a precise lever mechanism that offers exceptional "ease-on" control, allowing the operator to introduce the cutting stream gradually to prevent gouging at the start of a cut. This level of control is critical for precision fabrication and repair work where edge quality is paramount.

Packaged in a convenient clamshell for retail display and protection, the CA1350-CS is a vital component for any professional utilizing the Victor medium-duty platform. Its compatibility with Series 3 cutting tips ensures that consumables are readily available and easy to replace.
