Re: New to welding time to start shopping
Few things i learned from welding is good equipment goes VERY long way, and here's what i wear/use
Green jacket - Great from fab to pipe welding Hobart XVS Bonehead helmet - Great from fab to pipe welding *Small viewing area* Lincoln 3350 Mojo helmet - *New - testing tomorrow* BSX premium mig gloves - Great from fab to pipe welding Lincoln tinted safety glasses Milwaukee grinder - High power not very adjustable Ryobi grinder - low power highly adjustable - Great for fab Comeaux welding caps - Great from fab to pipe - all positions Dickies work pants - Hold up better than jeans Back hand heat shields - one on each hand - saves gloves/saves hands Harbor freight wire clippers - cheap and get the job done *Needle nose don't do it all =-p* Just some ideas from what i use nothing to fancy besides helmet and gloves really because you never skimp on a helmet as your paying for your eyes and as far as grinding helmets etc go, they are probably equal to the safest investment with the welding helmet because wheels break and even wire wheels those wires come off and get stuck in my jacket all the time As others stated don't cheap out on the wheels I'm not sure what wheels my cheap *** work uses but they haven't blown up in my face yet although i have seen it happen and had it happen
