Structural welder/fabricator here using Flux core. I alternate between my Miller T94 and a sugar scoop with a shade 12 arcone lens. I love the T94, it's sooooo comfortable and weights nothing plus it's super easy to adjust due to its button layout and it's lasted me almost three years with no problems aside from a little plastic piece falling off of the head gear. The lens has a green tint which I don't hate but the arc one has the blue tint which for some reason I like a little more. It feels brighter than it says but it works so no complaints. I like the T94 for fillets that I don't have to get close to to watch the edge burn becaus of the comfort but the sugar scoop is way better for those welds I need to really watch. Both are perfection with a clean lens.

Both are great choices. I used an old Miller Elite for years with that green lens. And still keep and old tiger flip in the truck for field work.

Quite a good video even if it doesn’t begin to talk about how to adjust the ADF, but that said, given the detail and nuance the presenter highlights are excellent, especially when considering things from a complete new beginners viewpoint. Well gone, good discussion, but a pt2 would be excellent.

There’s more content on the full video on the app… anything else you’d like to see in. Pt2 we could add or breakdown? Or maybe show

Agreed…that was the main thing I watched this video for and instead sat through a long tutorial how to adjust the hood straps…only to get a brief 10 second mention at the end.

@10:57 skip that weird design, get yourself some small binder clips and an old piece of cloth or denim, clip the cloth around the top edge the way you would attach a bib to the bottom edge, works well, is basically free, and very light weight to keep extra torque off the neck. If you want to get really crazy after you set the clips initially, remove the handles and put a second set of clips over that, and again, if you like remove the handles. makes it hold real well.

how much that welding mask sir?

Great information and I have one question. Can I buy a “good” or good enough hood for $100-150 or do I need to spend $3-400 for a higher quality one. I used a cheap $50 hood while learning mig and now that I’m learning tig I find I need better clarity than my old hood.

You might need to consider adding a cheater lens to help see the puddle. The thing to consider especially with tig is getting one with 3 or 4 sensors to prevent you from blocking sensors while moving hands and filler. There’s a variety on the market that have decent clarity and warranty with larger view windows and 4 sensors for around that $100 price. Weldcote Klearview and Blue Demon have options that both come to mind

@@adamstreich3007 A classmate bought a hood that worked fine using mig but flashed him when using tig. I wonder if that was because of a blocked sensor. Either way I’ll look for multiple sensors when choosing which one to buy. Thanks for the advice.

Is it me or did he grow a full beard by the end of the video?

😂yup. The magic of editing, or a retake after growing it.

What's up sir, I'm looking for a little help, I'm modifying my motorcycle and I need to make modifications to the chassis or frame, I bought an Inverter welder and as a gift it brought me 1 Kg of 6013 electrode, the question is: can that electrode work on what I want to do? Thank you very much greetings from Playa del Carmen Mexico.

Adam you put 9350

Most of the larger view window auto dark filters with 1/1/1 or 1/1/2 ratings start around 250 and can go up to 800 or more. You have to consider how it fits your face and head profile, the color clarity, low amperage capabilities, number of sensors and certain styles of graphics. Any hood time is good time

I wish you would have gone over how set up the settings instead of common sense how you put it on bs!

Sound is pretty poor… good video otherwise
