OVERVIEW

Precision Visual Aid for Industrial Welding

The Sellstrom 1.50 Magnifying Lens Plate is an essential accessory for professional welders requiring visual enhancement during intricate fabrication tasks. Often referred to as a "cheater lens," this 1.50 diopter plate is designed to fit into the standard retaining systems of most welding helmets, sitting securely behind the darkening filter. By providing a magnified view of the arc and weld puddle, it allows operators to maintain a safe working distance while achieving the visual clarity necessary for high-quality bead placement.

Manufactured from high-grade polycarbonate, this lens offers significant advantages over traditional glass magnifiers. Polycarbonate is inherently impact-resistant, making it a safer choice for rugged industrial environments where equipment is frequently handled or dropped. Despite its durability, the material remains lightweight, ensuring that the overall balance and comfort of the welding helmet are not compromised during long shifts. The optical quality of the plastic is engineered to minimize distortion, providing a clear and accurate representation of the workpiece.

This 2" x 4.25" plate is universally compatible with helmets that accept standard-size accessories. It is particularly beneficial for TIG welding applications where precision is paramount, or for older operators who may require reading glasses for close-up work. By integrating the magnification directly into the helmet, the welder eliminates the discomfort and fogging issues often associated with wearing spectacles under a hood. The Sellstrom 1.50 Magnifier is a cost-effective solution for improving weld quality and reducing eye strain in professional fabrication settings.

FAQ

The lens measures a standard 2 inches by 4.25 inches, fitting most standard welding helmet retaining frames.

The 1.50 refers to the diopter strength of the lens, which indicates the level of magnification. It is similar to the strength rating found on reading glasses.

This lens is made of polycarbonate plastic, which is lighter and more impact-resistant than glass.

It is typically installed inside the helmet, behind the main darkening filter lens, to protect it from spatter and heat.

Yes, as long as the helmet accepts standard 2" x 4.25" accessories, which most major brands do.

While you can, the purpose of this lens is often to replace the need for reading glasses under the hood. Using both might distort your vision depending on your prescription.

Clean it with mild soap and water or a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cloths that could scratch the polycarbonate surface.
