Great question! There are steel particles that have the potential to rust. It also likely will not achieve a high sheen using polish. It would look more like a shiny gray instead of polished steel.

Hi @thedazzlingape2006! This is a proprietary Rockmount product, so you will only see it online through Rockmount or one of our approved online distributors. Plus side...we ship internationally! If you would like to see what it would look like to get this shipped to Germany, we can provide a quote for you with estimated shipping charges. Give us a call at (360) 254-2020

Thanks for asking! The key differences are angular dependence and light state when not welding. The Quattro lens features a 1/1/1/1 classification while the CLT lens in the Crystal 2.0 is a 1/1/1/2. If you frequently weld at off-angles, the Quattro provides better protection with full darkness across the entire lens, whereas the CLT lens is slightly lighter towards the edges. Both lenses have tru-color and include Shadtronics and Fadtronics technology. The other key difference is the light state. The light state of the Crystal 2.0 (or CLT lens) is a 2.0 where the Quattro is a 3.0 (slightly darker). If you like to use the internal flip up the Helix provides, then you can achieve a fully clear light state when using the internal flip up without having to remove your hood.

@@rockmountwelding thank you very much for the quick and thorough response! Do you know if there are any videos showing the visual difference during welding?

There are a few "thru the lens" views on our IG and TikTok (@rockmountwelding) for the CLT. Unfortunately, we do not have one for the Quattro.

Thanks for asking! This is an interesting case. We would need more information to give a solid recommendation. Shoot us an email at getintouch@rockmountwelding.com. We'll can chat over the technical side further and help figure out the best solution from there!

Thanks for the kind words. I remember your old company, they were the big boys back then, and were worthy competition.

I don’t disagree, but it’s easier said than done. I’ve been trying to hire someone to do just that for months. These guys make top notch stuff. I’ve never used their wire but their stick electrodes make me look good every time I use them. I do a lot of field repairs on Boring and utility insulation equipment, an industry that seems to have far less metallurgical knowledge than you’d expect. Dissimilar metals, dirty metals, crack repair in high vibration applications I can’t say anything bad about their products other than they’re a little pricey.

@@timblack33 Tim, it sounds like you and I are getting similar work. I just finished repairing the badly broken outer end of the crowd-arm on a smallish excavator. It always astounds me how light, how thinwall these things are made, and with no doublers at the key locations, as if they are only supposed to dump beauty bark into Datsun pickups. So I'll take your word for it and pick up some of the rod. Thanks for the info.

@@timblack33 This is really helpful context. Thanks so much for your wonderful endorsement of our products!

I agree with you. Had a tech problem during the shoot and the welding image got blown out. Time constraints precluded us reshooting. We will do better next time. Bad welding image, great product.

@@patrickadams6870 Good luck, Patrick. If it were easy, I'd do it, rather than sit here and carp!!

Shoot us an email at getintouch@rockmountwelding.com!

We'd be happy to give you more information on Neptune AAA! Shoot us an email at getintouch@rockmountwelding.com

Thanks for the question! Mark from Rockmount here. As long as the neck is clean it should work great for that repair! It will fill in the pitting nicely.

Hi @derrickevans1758! We have a few options available. Give our office a call or shoot us an email at getintouch@rockmountwelding.com. We'll go over the available options with you!

Mark from Rockmount here, for Cast Iron our Jupiter alloys are what we recommend. Cast Iron has different metallurgical characteristics than steel, so it takes a different type of alloy to weld it. Thanks for your interest!

It is really neither. It is muted, but the full spectrum of colors is there. It makes it very easy to see what you are working on. If you would like to get more of an idea of the view, we have a few videos on our IG that are a shot through the lens of an Optrel CLT lens.

@@rockmountwelding which ones

One has a cover image that says "Standard Welding Lenses VS Optrel's CLT Lenses" and there is another posted not too long afterwards that shows overhead welding through a CLT lens. There is also a short clip in our latest Tartan AAA video that we posted a few weeks ago.

Does the bead look ok if you just drag the rod, or is it best to use some rod manipulation?

@@Zerk_Ziegleryou can just drag it, looks beautiful

@@ZILAwelds Good to know, thanks!

One more question -- does this rod run best in cellulosic (6010, higher welding voltage) mode or is it ok to run it in regular (lower welding voltage) mode? Thanks in advance.

@@Zerk_Ziegler generally speaking Rockmount rods are designed to run on any welding machine. They don’t really have demanding requirements on the hardware. Those will run on the Lincoln tombstone Welder Personally, i run them in the regular program, not in any special cellulosic program

Brutus is expensive but it is used on tool steel and other special applications. Polaris isn’t as expensive and is made for adverse conditions. Field repairs and the need for the repair to be stronger than the factory design.

I said the same thing until I tried some of their rods.

@@cew995 I get it. And if a company is paying for it, then fine. If a customer is paying for it, then fine. But if not, or if you’re doing something where it would be beneficial, but it’s for yourself, it’s a different story.

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have! Shoot us an email at getintouch@rockmountwelding.com with your location and contact information. We'll have your local rep reach out to answer any questions and help you work out which helmet/lens combo would work best for you!
