Finally! Optrel e670 :)

well for any of you who wants one like it, and i may get one once i start work again

this is the next one up. it does look nice

UKwelder link or Spa welding or the E670 on Spa welding site, not bad prices on there I might treat myself and get one for Christmas

Mine's an Optrel e680, but I've heard it called a Optrel/Sperian e680. Maybe Sperian own Optrel, or the other way around. Maybe they're even one & the same!
The lens does seem exceptionally clear, but my old helmet wasn't too good, so not too fair a comparison!
All the Best,
CJ

Anybody know what the difference is between the e670 and e680....?

e670 goes from a tint 9-13 and has an auto amperage sensor mode. In auto amperage the helmet will sense the amount of amperage you are using and tint automatically.

e680 goes from tint 5-13 but does not have auto amperage mode.

Thanks for that jhammer, so I can take it that you prefer the 670 over the 680....

I have no need for a tint any less then 9. The auto amperage mode comes in handy when you are Tig welding. When Tig welding you have the foot pedal that controls your amperage as you weld the helmet is always adjusting for your eyes.
