looking for green 'torch' face shield

[Soundguy]

I have seen one.. it's the full face flip down visor like a clear grinding face shieldd, only safety green tint for gas torching. oxy/acet.. etc... would be way more convienient for me than goggles since I wear coke-bottle sized eye glasses.

( ants fear me and hope I don't look down )

Maybe here, although it doesnt really say what the shade is.. but it does look pretty dark..

Soundguy,

I use a #4 shade for oxy/acet face shield........Welding supply co's have selections to compare......

 

[Soundguy]

i'm not sure what shade my goggles are.. whatever they are.. they are safe.. I don't get ghost's after torching.. will have to look at it to make sure i get the same shade level i am used to.

think the shade in my AD welding helmet is 9 or 10 or so?

thanks

Like you, I use #10 for arc welding also.....I've never gone over to the "Electronic Shades" yet....YET.......

Just can stand the thought of one of those things being dropped and bounced around the shop......

 

[Soundguy]

i held out aloooong time with a fixed shade and nod to drop. still got it.. but now use the AD.. no flash burns yet.. still havn't thrown the old one out

With the face shields you will notice that green and dark green are less cost than a certified shade 3 or 5. Fibre Metal, Jackson and Sellstrom are some brands you will find at the distributors stores.

They stock them at the welding suppliers and even Grainger in these parts.

I think mine is a Jackson with #5 shield on it.

I probably have one in stock. Forney makes/markets them. I have a clear and a green shaded one for the same reason you want one.

I can't do goggles for the condensation on my prescription glasses. I'm sure that is a big problem for you in FL, too.

 

[Soundguy]

absolutely. in fact.. the reason I'm gonna get a shield. after a few minuted of torching or welding everything fogs up...
