OVERVIEW

Precision Optics for Professional Welders

The ESAB Crystal 2.5 Magnifying Lens (SKU: 18858) is a premium optical accessory designed to enhance visibility and precision for professional welders. Engineered with high-grade polycarbonate, this lens offers a 2.50 diopter magnification strength, making it an essential tool for intricate welding tasks where detail is paramount. The "Crystal" designation refers to the lens's superior optical clarity, ensuring that the magnified image remains sharp and distortion-free, which is critical for maintaining tight tolerances in aerospace, automotive, and sanitary welding applications.

This lens features a specialized design, potentially utilizing a 1/4 turn or specific retention mechanism compatible with select ESAB and industry-standard welding helmets. By integrating this magnifying lens into your helmet assembly, you can significantly reduce eye strain caused by squinting or focusing on small weld pools for extended periods. The lens is lightweight yet durable, resistant to the heat and occasional spatter typical of the welding environment, although it is designed to sit behind the main protective cover lens.

Whether you are performing micro-TIG welding or simply require additional visual support for general fabrication, the Crystal 2.5 lens provides the clarity needed to execute flawless welds. Its easy installation process allows operators to quickly adapt their gear to different visual requirements, ensuring optimal performance across various projects.

FAQ

This lens has a diopter strength of 2.50, which provides significant magnification for detailed work.

It is designed for helmets that accept standard magnifying lenses or those with a specific 1/4 turn/slide retention system. Please check your helmet's accessory compatibility.

Typically, this lens replaces the need for reading glasses (cheaters) under the hood, but it depends on your specific vision requirements.

The lens is manufactured from high-quality optical grade polycarbonate for durability and impact resistance.

Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap or lens cleaner. Avoid abrasive solvents that could damage the optical coating.

Magnifying lenses are always installed on the inside of the welding helmet, behind the auto-darkening filter and inner cover lens.

This likely refers to the specific mounting mechanism or retention clip style used to secure the lens into the helmet frame.

It is not recommended to stack lenses as this can cause optical distortion and reduce the clarity of the weld view.
