What's the flap of leather hanging off the helmet for?
anyone kno how much a helmet like this costs?
Ive been trying to stik weld for a while in school and im not familiar with these helmets I can’t recall a time when I actually used a helmet from the school where I could actually see what im doing through it all the lebses are completely black its like putting on a blindfold because of this it makes it impossible for me to weld because I cant see what I’m doing because of this I just sit in the shop the whole time and act like I’m busy
If your helmet has a grind setting, should it be clear?
Trust me you never want flash burn it happened to me one time many years ago when I was young we were doing a lot of spot welding and I was holding two pieces of metal while the other person was spot volume down does it take a lot of flashing I thought the person was done welding doesn't take a lot to get flash burn and you do not notice it right away later on that afternoon my eyes started burning really bad it was agonizing pain so I went to the emergency room and I was given special eye drops for flash burn I was out of work for 2 days I may have got about seven or eight flashes during the course of the day that's all it took doesn't take a lot to get flash burn I was in excruciating pain so be careful always use the correct lens design for Mig Tig arc welding even oxy-acetylene welding always protect your eyes used to correct lenses when welding
dident answer the question. I cant see either…
Any suggestions for shade settings at very low amps? Like 20-40 amp tig or stick operation?
Thank you
If you wake up in the morning and your blind, you did not have a dark enough lens. Oh ok thanks.
Thank you for the classification .
