Upgrade your rig with the CMR Fabrications Wooden Eyebox, the industry-leading replacement for professional pancake welding hoods. Engineered with our patent-pending design and proudly American-made, this balsa wood lens box is the #1 choice for pipeliners who demand a custom, light-tight fit that plastic alternatives can't provide.
The Professional Pipeliner’s Choice
In the field, glare isn't just a nuisance—it’s a hazard. Our wooden eyebox is crafted from premium, lightweight balsa wood, specifically chosen so you can sand and contour the edges to the exact shape of your face. This creates a 100% light-proof "darkroom" effect, essential for seeing your puddle clearly in high-glare, outdoor environments.
Key Performance Features:
- Customizable Fit: Unlike rigid plastic goggle styles, this wooden eyebox can be easily shaved or sanded for a personalized, ergonomic seal.
- Patent-Pending CMR Design: Optimized depth and curvature to reduce eye fatigue and accommodate various facial structures.
- Ultra-Lightweight Balsa: Minimizes the weight of your carbon fiber pancake hood, preventing neck strain during long 12-hour shifts.
- Superior Optics: Designed to house standard 2" x 4 1/4" lenses, including auto-darkening (ADF) and fixed shade glass.
- USA Made Quality: Manufactured in-house at CMR Fabrications, ensuring the durability required for heavy-duty pipeline and rig welding.
Smaller, one piece balsa, ergonomically superior to the old version, sits on the bridge of your nose and doesn't pinch your nostrils. All pluses! And you can make it left or right handed to slide in your lenses. Access on both sides.
Stoked you're liking the upgrade! We spent a lot of R&D time on the ergonomics of this new one-piece balsa wooden eyebox to ensure it solves the 'nose pinch' issue common in standard wood eyeboxes. Those comparison images are awesome—thanks for showing the evolution of your gear!
New design is excellent very little sanding for fitting going to buy some more for my other pancakes
This is a huge improvement over the goggle and your conventional balsa wood box. This is made for more of a narrow face, but take your time sanding it and the results are worth it no more squished nostrils. Very light and easy to wear all day
'No more squished nostrils' is exactly what we were aiming for with the narrower profile. We appreciate the feedback and the support.
