OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Eye Protection for Industrial Cutting

The Lincoln Electric K3118-1 Cutting and Grinding Goggles are engineered to provide superior protection for professionals engaged in high-heat and high-debris applications. Designed specifically for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, these goggles feature a Shade 5 lens that effectively filters out harmful radiation while maintaining sufficient visibility for precision work. Unlike standard safety glasses, the K3118-1 offers a complete seal around the eyes, ensuring that airborne contaminants such as sparks, spatter, sand, and dirt cannot bypass the protective barrier.

Compliance and Safety Standards

Safety is paramount in industrial environments, and these goggles meet the rigorous ANSI Z87.1 standards for personal eye protection. This certification ensures that the lenses and frame can withstand high-velocity impacts, providing peace of mind when working with grinding wheels or cutting torches. The robust construction is designed to endure the tough conditions of metalworking shops, shipyards, and construction sites.

Comfort and Usability

Long shifts require protective gear that remains comfortable over time. The K3118-1 features a wide fit design that accommodates various face shapes without creating pressure points. The adjustable black elastic band ensures the goggles stay securely in place, even when the user is moving or looking down. Additionally, the lenses are treated with an anti-fog coating, a critical feature for maintaining clear vision in humid environments or during strenuous activity where perspiration can cause standard lenses to cloud up.

Versatile Application

While optimized for cutting, these goggles are also excellent for grinding tasks where sparks and flying debris are a constant hazard. The red frame provides high visibility, making it easy to locate the gear in a busy workshop. Whether you are performing heavy fabrication, automotive repair, or structural steel work, the Lincoln Electric K3118-1 goggles deliver the reliable protection required to get the job done safely.
