Arnold9801 - did you go on to buy the A50? - looking at the advert on ebay it looks like the same seller I purchased mine from. Was genuine item and brand new. Works fine except for the head fit issue for me, but that's peculiar to my head shape more than the helmet! Paid £179 for mine back in...
Just seen your post Arnold 9801. Yes, did buy this and later bought the A50 as needed second helmet for my son who was helping on a job when both my and his Clarke's bit the dust. The Sentinel is great but for reason I find the Savage a better fit for me, the Sentinal keeps sliding forward on my...
Bought A40 Savage and A50 Sentinel, intending to use A40 as a spare or when my son helps on bigger jobs. I find that I'm using the Savage more than the Sentinel now as I find it a better fit for me as the Sentinel feels a bit front heavy.
Did that s410man, it was dropping fairly quickly before I found the small leak at the peashooter gauge connection. Every joint fully tightened now and leak checked, gauge does drop, but much more slowly now. New bottle fitted, will see how this one goes. Also will reduce flow to around 6/7 lpm...
Before contacting R Tech decided to repeat soap bubble test on all gas joints. Yes! Slight leak from the pea shooter gauge to the regulator connection. Appears to have been knocked and turned slightly which has caused a leak, moving it increased the leak so I think it has possibly been...
As I was mostly welding box section there are a lot of individual welds so accordingly a lot of pre and post gas flows which may account for the extra usage. On the box section piece there are 10 joints on 60x60 section, so 40 individual welds.
Using my new R Tech 180 and hobbyweld 5, the 9 l size, and gas has run out before the one job completed. Didn't note actual welding time but calculated that total of 10 feet of weld on mix of 4mm and 5mm box section. Flow rate 10 lpm.which should give 100mins of welding time. In between each...
I think most things at the lower price end of the scale are, but the specs of the ADF look good, same optical class - 1/1/1/2 as the ESAB Sentinel. As I am only an occasional welder but now on a project requiring more precise welding of some parts my existing Clarke helmet doesn't give me view I...
Forgot password, so delay in responding!! - Yes, Westerly Centaur. Am into the build of the trolley now. Using 5mm 100x150 box. Will tap filler hole in top of box sections to fill/refill with engine oil to combat corrosion. Did this on road trailer for a trailable boat I had previously and it...
