My aching eyeballs after practicing FCAW.
A picture with the $400.00 Speed-Glass hood. Not much if any difference in the lens quality. This hood is not recommended for out of position welding IE. overhead using FCAW or SMAW. So it has now been regulated to my shop work and GTAW only.By the way I'm using a small Hobart 140 welder, welding studs to a column for attaching wood on a custom home I worked on. This is a great hood but not really needed for a hobby welder. I purchased my first Speed-Glass hood in 1993 and used it daily up until 2017 with only replacing the head gear a couple of times. Hence when I replaced it I did so with another Speed Glass. The white hood gets used the majority of the time now.
