Welding Helmet Recommendations
I am in the market for a new welding helmet. I am going to buy one of the automatic darkening ones and would like some input from anyone using one of these.
Since I will be using this mostly for TIG welding I will need to get one that goes up to shade 12 or 13. This excludes most of the cheap ones, but I want to get a good one anyhow. My first project with this will be fabricating a 4" exhaust system for my truck.
So far I am checking specifications on Miller,Optrel,and a couple of others. I have never bought or even used one of these helmets and would appreciate any guidance from any welders out there. I do wear glasses and if anyone knows of any problem with that in relation to any particular helmet, please let me know.
I have received a lot of good information from this site about my truck and now need to tap into this vast wealth of knowledge on this matter.
THANKS!!!
