I will say the 3350-3 is different than the 3350-4 but the hole spacing might be identical.Oscar wrote:I have absolutely no idea. I made mine work because I was determined.

Is Airgas your only option for supplies locally?
They where cited as a monopoly but they convinced the powers that be that there is enough competition.
So yeah, here on cape cod, not too many options

I saw it over there. Real nice to see those all together like that. If I had $400 laying around, I'd get one of those Crystal 2.0 helmets...but for the time being I'm gonna need to keep welding with my Miller Elite.Oscar wrote:I made this from videos made by a scsmith on WW:

That's mostly what counts is that you like it, since they're your eyes.
Although that helmet sounds like a better version than the may have sold in the past, I still am not sure about trusting my eyes to HF.

I saw the video on ww. I was wondering if the shade setting was the same on all units? The viking has an analog dial so its not precise even you set it to say 12. It might be 12.25 shade.

I agree. For me it's nothing but Optrel, and an HTP Striker CSV as a back-up. My crystal 2.0 is on order, but I will need to modify it, as it's darkest shade of 12 will not be enough for pushing the limits of my new TIG welder.rick9345 wrote:Nice pictures Oscar ,but diffent eyes need different style/color clarity.Oscar wrote:I made this from videos made by a scsmith on WW:

I never see anyone any more who uses an old-school helmet. I think I've purchased my last LCD auto-dimming helmet. I simply hate the things. I and a friend who works at a local pharma place both bought a similar Hobart Pro helmet a few years back, both have failed and eat batteries in a day now. Both of us bought new helmets that use lenses from Phillips Safety, and I LOVE it. He just stopped here the other day to try my new #6 lens with the additional super-magenta lens that basically makes it a 7.5. Nicest image EVAR!
I own 3 auto dimming helmets, not to include ones I've thrown away. I have been flashed for the last time with those things. Between my new cheapo Lincoln helmet into which I added the two lenses and the cheater, I'm set. Wasn't cheap, probably have north of $250 in a passive lens helmet, but it never fails to start, and the clarity of the optical glass is an order of magnitude better than looking through cloudy-ole liquid in the LCDs. Color is awesome also.

Your eyes must be more tolerable than mine. I must be getting old.
