3M Speedglas 91XX SW FX Darkening Welding Helmet w/Adflo, Hornell Speedglass | eBay

This is right now about the best buy for a new Add-Flow welding hood, they're usually around 2k, there is plenty of good used ones on ebay for a lot less. Another high point I like is adjustable welding shades. If I was well off and or if I had a big paying home welding job to do I'd get one, they're about the best welding hood around.

and here I am thinking I'm high rolling with my Vulcan welding helmet... :)

That said, I really do like the Vulcan helmet... it is ridiculously clear compared to the normal cheapie auto darkening helmets. I was suckered in with an open box version for $105 so only 100% more $ than what I went in to get instead of 200%...

HY80 high strength steel 1/2"-1" has to be pre-heated to 125 degrees, I cant find degree symbol on my laptop so I used the asterisk symbol.


My apologies for being late in saying THANKS. The steel doesn't have to be preheated very much does it?

On my tablet ° appears when I tap ?123 then ~[< to the left of the bottom row of letters.

I think I'm high rolling and my HF helmet is one grade and a bunch of money below yours. I'd probably swell up and bust if I had a Vulcan.
