Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I bought the kit on ebay for £120 which has been worth it for the 3M filter kit plus spare 8 hour batteries but....... was a tad disappointed that the lens in the welding mask was smashed. Also I have a 3M mask with the same filter kit which has a flip up welding lens which gives you great vision for grinding.
My dilemna is do i try and get a lens for the solarmatic, but then i need something to enable me to use the air fed kit in grinding mode, do i buy a new helmet with grinding shield ..... but will it fit a 3M air feeder.
Also how good and how good is the field of view and clarity of view on the better helmets which have a grinding mode.
I am tig welding and grinding stainless..
Any bright ideas as to the best way to go. I would ....sort of...prefer to buy the bits cos i dont like throwing things away but accept i might have to treat myself to something hideously expensive to get what i want.
Thanks in advance.
