Well first of all, welcome to welding. For 1/8 mild steel using 3/32 rod I would say you are running hot. Back off to about to 60-70 amps. Too much heat will...

I used a HF helmet for years and it worked fine. Then I moved to a new location which is lighted by vapor lights. They kicked the HF helmet, it did not have...

Hey guys, I've been using a lincoln weld-pak 155 for at least 10 years. I really would like to get into welding some aluminum. I'd like to leave my lincoln set...
I have a HF and bought a Jackson "Boss" for a large project. What a helmet! It has a button control for grinding and torch (I use it for plasma cutting)....
WOW! , the Torch / grinding feature sounds like a winner, I wish my helmet did that. I'll have to look into that one, I have a top of the line Lincoln, but ...
Dave, The HF he mentions is an HF torch. The Jackson "Boss" is a high dollar helmet. I will agree that it is great. I have seen them and used them but for...
Dave, It is only available in welding shops and the net. After talking with doctors, over the years (metal removal from eyes), the whole key is UV. The...
