Hi, first off i must say what a very informative forum, I'm glade i found it i love reading about welding,
Ok now my Question, can someone recommend an auto darkening Welding Helmet? the one i have is a speedglas, shade 3/10 although a good helmet i just cannot see out of it, its way to dark, this has put me off welding in the past as i thought it was my inexperience with welding, I'v been trying to do some car panel work, but its impossible as i just cannot see where im welding, i even put spot lights up but this has no effect at all, i don't really want to spend to much as i don't have a lot of money,
one more thing apart from a welding mask what eles is there to keep the fumes at bay? i nearly died breathing in all that smoke from burning underseal, i'v been looking at one of these, 300 MM 12" DUST FUME AIR EXTRACTOR VENTILATION FAN 240V, are they any good for fume extraction?
sorry for long post, i do home some one can help.
Thanx
Maddy
