Anything welding

My problem with them is the delay after welding my eyes tend to hurt. If your only going to do little welding just get a passive shade and throw in a gold lens. I know I've said it before

 

He asked about auto darkening

 

Thanks I did read the question, I was suggesting s something else as a possibility, didn't know it wasn't acceptable

 

Idk ive never used them. Just see everyone in the shop using them.

Made a table today.
Didn't have enough angle iron to do the sides. So i have to get some soon.

 

I know people who use them and like them, just with me that bit of delay fucks with my eyes. I gave mine to a buddy who used it for a few years and liked it. I've been using a free one I got with my welder, I think it's at tweco, they retail for around $70 I think.

 

Not a bad deal!

 

Thanks for the recomendations guys. Ive worked with a welder who liked the harbor freight hoods but i i just dont know if i can trust the saftey of my eyes to a harbor freight product because my eyes are already pretty bad. After i posted i alao remembered one of our welders telling me he wouldnt get a hood with less than 4 sensors. So after research the HF and oher options inended going wiht an Antra hood:

That's what I thought too. Then I saw Jody on Welding Tips & Tricks talk about it. He didn't have anything bad to say about it.

Glad you found something that'll work for you!

 

Ha ha! Just had to bust your balls a bit

 

Getting there...

 

And I was being pissy

 

I just can't justify it to myself to spend the money on one. Though I've been using a speedglass one for pewter lately and am very tempted.

 

It's looking good Derek.

 

Are those 35s?

 

The hell happened with the gun?

 

No, 33. 285/75R16

 

This is my first pewter counter top I've led from beginning to end, with help form a few guys in the shop. The guy who used to do all the pewter counter tops got let go, I've helped on a couple but haven't been much involved, there's a huge learning curve compared to other metals. It's very soft so in certain aspects it's easy to work with but at the same time causes difficulties. Welding .0625 vertical on a corner with proper penetration to keep from cracking once it's been blended out is not easy, let alone not blowing the entire corner away.
