Jackson Safety JKS22606 Safety Plate Set Polycarbonate 5 1/4 x 4 1/2 Inch

The Jackson Safety JKS22606 is a safety plate set with 5-1/4 x 4-1/2 inch filter dimensions, in polycarbonate.

Safety plates — cover lenses — are the clear plates that sandwich the welding filter, and they are the most misunderstood consumable in welding. The filter itself is the expensive part, whether it is a passive shade lens or an auto-darkening cartridge. Spatter, sparks, and grinding debris would pit and destroy it in days.

The safety plates take that damage instead. One sits outside the filter and one inside, and both are sacrificial: they pit, they scratch, they get thrown away, and the filter behind them survives.

The economics are the whole argument. A cover plate costs a fraction of a filter and a small fraction of an ADF cartridge. Running without one, or running a pitted one until the welder cannot see, is how shops destroy filters and then wonder why their helmet costs are high.

Polycarbonate is the correct material — the same impact resistance that makes it standard for face shields, in a plate that also has to survive spatter.

The 5-1/4 x 4-1/2 inch dimension is the large filter size. Confirm it matches your helmet, since plate sizes follow filter sizes and they are not interchangeable.

Change the outer plate when it pits — a welder squinting through a damaged plate makes bad welds.
