Hi Folks, im in the market for a new lid, as i believe the technology has moved on so far now im actually hampering my own work by all accounts on the net.
At the time - 2012 or 13 i think it was, i bought a top of the range miller digital elite. to be fair, its worked flawlessly and still does to this day, but i believe theres much better options out there now. the surrounding area of the puddle is hard to see, and theres always an amber halo around the weld area which is really annoying.
I havent kept very up to speed with all the latest offerings, and tbh im bamboozled by all the speedglas options - so what better place to ask than here!
Im hoping some of you kind folk can give me recommendations.
critical and not critical points:
- will be used for sub 100amp tig work only - clarity critical
- does not need to be air fed
- does not need flip up grind guard or grind mode
- reliable at low amp settings
- wont be in an industrial environment, so 'hardiness' is not a factor. i work by myself doing intricate tig work.
whats my best options guys? Speedglas v Optrel v Sentinel etc.
thanks!!
