You're supposed to wear a helmet when welding???
The Auto-Darkening welding shieds work great. I haven't done much welding but the first time I welded I used a relly old one that didn't have the Auto-Darkening and I couldn't even see what I was doing. Once I used a Auto-Darkening sheid and it made all the difference.
the miller elite is the way to go...i started weldin w/ the old-school-flick-ure-head-down style...its nice cuz of the bigger window...but once i started usin an auto lense, it was a whole new world....i have the jackson nexGen hood...its $300 and it was a graduation gift almost 2 years ago...its one of the best $ can buy...but the cartridge is heavy and the window is small...but if u can get used to the old school style, run the gold lense(i forget who mentioned it on the last page), but its AMAZING how clear the puddle looks...alot of guys that run dual shield or high production( as in 40-50' beads at a time) SWEAR by the old school style, just cuz of the big window(4 1/2" x 5 1/4")...when my batteries went dead last year at work, i borrowed a co-worker's miller elite, WOW, it weighs practically nothing and the windows just a tad bigger and the headgear is alot more comfortable...especially after a 10 hour shift... 6 days a week.... just my $.02as for trusting it, i would, since their designed so that even if they dont start right up, u just get a minor flash...which shouldnt phase you for more than a minute or so...my jackson, if you forget to turn it on, its a shade 12-13...
But I prefer the traditional style helmet too, because I use a gold lense. It helps you see your puddle MUCH more clearer, and they're not that expensive to upgrade your regular helmet.
i might have to check out the hold lense...sounds interesting. how much do they run?
i love your sig your down to a half of a maverick
