Hi Fellas,
I'm new to the forum, although I have read a fair portion of it on my quest for knowledge.
Now i've sussed the machine I hope to get, had a quick email chat with Weldequip and settled on a Portamig 181. This will be my first machine and with any luck my last
Now onto my first 'live' question and it's about helmets.
I've looked at auto helmets, their is a fella on another forum i use selling helmets, they look ok and at £38 +£4 P&P on the face of it seems good, the spec looks good and seems to match some of the more expensive items.
But there in lies my issue, you see I'm quite partial to sight, it's been handy throughout my life and I'd say I've used it everyday. Admitidly sometimes I don't see what right under my nose but hey! who's perfect?
Optrel Sattelite....
The speedglas range...
Parweld...
Is there so much difference? initialy I'm liking the Optrel, plus it can be used for grinding, seems usefull.
What are the blokes that know views on helmets?
I don't want to screw my eyes up but I can't afford to toss money away.
Cheers for reading, now educate me if you please
