Forney Industries Inc 60446 Cutting Tip Size 00 Medium Duty

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 60446 is a Size 00 oxy-acetylene cutting tip built for medium-duty cutting applications. The copper shell is machined from solid bar stock rather than tubing, which results in a thicker shell flange and an extra heavy-duty shell end at the point of greatest wear. The larger tip diameter reduces preheat time and helps maintain a consistent cut on painted or rusty plate surfaces. Coarse V-splines improve gas flow, resist clogging, and make tip cleaning faster during field service. This is a professional-grade consumable for oxy-fuel torch rigs.

The 60446 is designed for medium-duty oxy-acetylene cutting tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. It suits work on painted, rusty, or otherwise contaminated steel plate where tip fouling is a common concern. The tip is sold in a package quantity of 6, making it a practical stocking item for shops running Victor-compatible torch setups or Forney torch kits. Typical users include welders, metal fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who perform regular flame-cutting work.

Key Features

• Copper shell machined from solid bar stock for greater wall thickness and durability compared to tubing-based tips
• Extra heavy-duty shell end at the wear zone where the tip contacts the most heat and abrasion
• Larger tip diameter reduces preheat time and sustains the cut on painted or rusty plate
• Coarse V-splines resist clogging and simplify cleaning with a standard tip cleaner
• Victor compatible design fits a wide range of existing torch handles and cutting attachments
• Packaged in a quantity of 6 for convenient shop stocking

Compatibility

Fits Forney torch kits 1702, 1705, 1707, and 1753. Also compatible with Victor-style medium-duty cutting torch handles and cutting attachments. Part reference 00-3-101.

Installation Notes

Oxy-acetylene tip replacement should be performed by a trained welder or gas-equipment technician. Before changing tips, close both the oxygen and acetylene cylinder valves completely and bleed residual pressure from the hoses and torch body. Thread the tip into the cutting attachment by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug to the manufacturer-specified seat without over-torquing the brass fitting. Inspect hoses, regulators, and check valves for condition before returning the outfit to service, and follow all applicable compressed-gas safety codes.
