Onyx610 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yup adjust darkness and delay, the new helmets are great and really help produce even better welds. Helps when you can see your work even better. They are affordable now too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70766-got-me-a-new-welder/page/3/#findComment-516838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I have a Lincoln auto darkening helmet. It has provisions to slide the cheater in and it's light compared to it's size (comfy) They are great, makes life a lot easier when welding. I'm still reluctant to start without a little test look at the sun first (lol) Get'n flashed isn't much fun 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70766-got-me-a-new-welder/page/3/#findComment-516841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 auto darkening helmets are the "best thing since slice bread" . always Leary of them but have found more positive since owning one. the flip with 2x4 Lens ( didn't like the big lens helmet after 6-8 hrs steady had head aches) i had a tendency to move parts or weld handle too much when motion of flipping helmet. also auto was great in tight spaces. coke had those side bay delivery trailers with no room under side to flip a helmet ; and they always had broken something under neath. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70766-got-me-a-new-welder/page/3/#findComment-516853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 sure could use a welder set up for plastic now. i see why the front plastic bumpers are left on the sides of the road. after sanding/cleaning the epoxy I put on bumper last night doesn't stay. removed it ; waiting now for a different glue to hopefully hold. last resort i'm going to use the model glue. LOL her car not mine. final step a couple of 2x4's bolted to front. red neck style. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70766-got-me-a-new-welder/page/3/#findComment-516855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
