I just bought a a Miller "Digital Elite" series a few months ago and I'll never go back to the cheap stuff. 4 sensors prevent eye flash from differing welding angles, over 9 square inches of viewing area, 4 settings including cutting, welding and grinding....
Man what a difference! Not cheap, but I can weld for hours without eyestrain or getting flashed, the puddle is much more clear, smoke doesn't get into the mask as easily... I could go on and on....
BTW, I just got the plain satin black version. It doesn't show splatter or scratches as much as the fancy painted up stuff.
Thanks I would like to have a good welding helmet. But right now it's not in the cards. Ink is sending me his spare welding helmet so i can start on my Charger
Understood, I waited for years and years before I got this one and Good on Ink for helping out!!
Good MIG gloves shouldn't be much more than about 25 bucks. They have a much better "feel" than stick welding gloves. Just thought I'd throw that out there since you were asking about additional safety equipment.
Don't forget to teach the pooch to cut the lawn so you can get more time on the Charger....
