A high iron-oxide manual metal arc electrode originally developed for underwater use, provides a very effective means of cutting on land site work as an oil company confirms.
The diver can also see for easy and accurate re-striking, making for improvements in weld quality and performance, as well as offering a real benefit as a training aid.
The filter is powered by the arc; no batteries, knobs or switches are needed, and it comes with a two-year no-quibble guarantee.
The filter is selected to operate at #10, which will typically cover most underwater welding and cutting operations, and has a background filter strength set at #3.
Speciality Welds states: "Once tried, you'll never return to glass filters again, that's a promise".
