the maint manager sent this over for me today. he probably thought he was doing me a favor although i don't use an auto dark shield. it was a nice gesture though and maybe i'll think about switching from my fibre metal flip front. Attached Imagesi.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla
Reply:Give it a try, you might decide you like it, especially when you have a bunch of short tacks to make and need to skip around the piece while doing them. Just read thru the destruction manual so you know how to set it up properly so you are using it correctly and don't get frustrated with it. That happened to me with the last one I bought. It got dark and stayed that way for awhile longer than I thought it should. Then I reread the manual, and learned it needs to be reset for differing ambient light conditions.

Reply:I think it is hilarious that your boss got you an AD helmet...because you are the last one without one.  Hmmm...perhaps there is a REASON you are the last one without one.  I like my fixed shade lenses too (but I generally use gas welding).  When I was using TIG, I just used a flip-up faceplate and made sure to tip my head down when welding and up for setup.KevKevin / Machine_Punk from The Aerodrome Studio - Lincoln PowerMIG 210 MP - Meco N Midget w/custom welding station - Vintage Victor 100Current Projects: The Aerodrome Studio
