And since you have the Dynasty 200DX, might as well spring for the
Jackson. I've got some projects lined up for mine, now that it's
warming up.

The recommendation was to purchase a Jackson adjustable head gear with
"shorty face shield", leather bib, fixed gold shade #11 and +2.25
magnifier. However, I haven't been able to find anywhere to buy such a
creation. Any ideas where? The instructor has used the same helmet for
years, and no longer knows where to buy them. I suspect its been
replaced by the auto dimming helmets. Any recommendations on where to
purchase such a creation? The auto dimming helmet I have now is not
sensitive enough to use with TIG. The Speedglas 9002X states it will
support low amp TIG.
Thanks

You can always put a supplemental lens behind the autodimmer.

I got my Nexgen EQC at the local Airgas. I like it. Ernie Leimkuhler
on sci.engr.joining.welding recommends the Huntsman 951P hood with the
Nexgen EQC lens.

Please log in for more thread options Bought an inexpensive helmet from Lowe's and put in a gold #11 and
+2.25 magnifier to get me going. Finally can see what I am doing. I'll
look for a better helmet option later, but wanted to get some
practicing in with the new lenses. What a difference. I was able to
weld some Aluminum with AC process today with great success after some
practice.
Thanks for the help!
