Finding a lightweight TIG shield

admin

Years ago a buddy of mine had a nice shield that was basically the same setup as a grinding shield. The front of it was the huntsman vulcanized fiber type shield with a simple flip up lens. It was nice and light and didn't wrap around the side of your face. It was great for tight spots also. Nobody I have asked has ever seen anything like it and think I'm crazy, but I remember them very well. Just can't put a name on the brand or find them for sale anywhere.CERTIFICATIONS:7018M- H.V.O10718M- H.V.O11018M- H.V.O9N10- H.V.O71T-1-HYM- H.O.V100S1 PULSE ARC 0,035- H.O.V100S1 PULSE ARC 0.045- H.O.VER70S-3 PULSE ARC 0.035 H.O.VER70S-3 PULSE ARC 0.045 H.O.VER5554- H.O.V

Reply:I was at an Airgas in R I.  I know they had it listed on the receipt as a "pipeliner" helmet. I will look at the hood tomorrow and list any info I can find.Miller Syncrowave 180Miller 211 w/ spool-gunLincoln Ac/Dc buzzboxCutmaster 38 plasmaVictor,Smith's,and Craftsman (Harris) O/A torches.DeWalt Multi cutterFiber Metal helmets(old school)Enough Snap-On to be a dealer
Reply:http://www.airgas.com/browse/product...uct=JAC30135976 ounces... can't get much lighter than that I don't think.
Reply:Well I checked the hood today..nowhere on the shield part does it have a brand name. On the head gear and lens holder it says pyramex not sure if that's just who makes the plastic parts. it also says WG100 on the lens holder. I took a picture of it ,but I have no idea how to get it on the computer.

Reply:Gotta be this. Its the lightest softest shield I have ever used. You dont even know its on your head when you flip it up. Made by jackson. Attached ImagesI hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
Reply:Nope..it's made of the vulcanized fiber board like a huntsman, but it's cut down. I know Jackson made one similar for acetylene welding however this one is even smaller than that.Miller Syncrowave 180Miller 211 w/ spool-gunLincoln Ac/Dc buzzboxCutmaster 38 plasmaVictor,Smith's,and Craftsman (Harris) O/A torches.DeWalt Multi cutterFiber Metal helmets(old school)Enough Snap-On to be a dealer

Reply:it's close...cut off the material above the lens at the 3rd rivet and the bottom at the bend and that's the one.Miller Syncrowave 180Miller 211 w/ spool-gunLincoln Ac/Dc buzzboxCutmaster 38 plasmaVictor,Smith's,and Craftsman (Harris) O/A torches.DeWalt Multi cutterFiber Metal helmets(old school)Enough Snap-On to be a dealer
