speedglass 9100x or 9100xx for stick pipe welding

admin

has anyone ever used speedglass 9100x or xx for pipe welding . are they made to hold up to overhead welding ,laying in a trench with very little space to weld 12 inch pipe joint.I been reading here that for tig and mig there great helmets.I own a hf autodark ( which i no cant compare to a speedglass) but outside you get that yellow tint.( cheap) i guess.willing to spend the money but can someone tell me if for stick pipe welding in all positions ,and weather conditions, and dont forget  grinding all day. are they made to stand up to this type of welding. thanks

Reply:One of my co-workers uses a speedglass and we do pipe all day, everyday...mostly stick. He seems to like it...Ive only used his for a few short welds and I didn't like how scratched up his lens was (easy fix) so I quickly went and got my hood...
Reply:thank you black wolf that is close enough. and yes extreme weather wont use it ,my pipeliner shield goes back on.but out of all the speedglass you own what one  when welding outside seems to have the clearest lens.and i do plan on using it for tig work indoors,thanks
Reply:i don't weld pipe either. i do weld just about anything else in the shop and on the farm though. i liked my 9100x so much that i bought the 9100xx for a second hood. i use both hoods for stick, tig, mig, o/a welding and brazing, and grinding. about the only thing i don't use them for is sun glasses when in the boat fishing on the lake. i save that for the digital elite because of the cool graphics.Last edited by jbmprods; 07-17-2011 at 04:48 AM.225NT bobcatAEAD200LEScott 125mm175, mm252 w 30A, PT225mm211, TA 181iHyper Therm 380, cut master 529100X & XX, Digital Elite6 Victor setssmith little torch, meco midget kalamazoo band sawsteel max saw evoulution circular saw
