Re: ADF Modification

That link was merely for demonstration perposes. Your MIA/POW would probably is availible as a passive. Mick Far as I've seen (and I've researched pretty well), they only make those two styles (black/flames) in fixed shade. So I've been trying to figure out how to fit a gold lens in one of the ADF ...

Re: ADF Modification

http://www.savephace.com will put any design you can imagine on any helmet you want. They have Std. lenses, and ADs, with peripheral vision options. Steve S They've got some badass looking helmets! But, I think getting it painted would make this venture much more expensive than I was thinking. Part...

http://www.millerwelds.com/about/news_releases/2008/articles233.html This is the one you can buy, and add an adf later if you like. :-) Not a fan of the design. I know, who cares. But the POWMIA helmet really speaks to me. I want this helmet (no lens) with a gold lens in it. (http://www.weldfabulou...

Re: ADF Modification

Hey, A little research just told me that you can buy a passive helmet in the shape of a miller D E. That can be upgraded to a Adf later if desired. So it stands to reason that you can eaily swap the other way, and there must be a gold lens out there some where. Colin fromToxicfab.com made his own g...

ADF Modification

I've seen a couple people online now that have modified their original ADF helmet and put a fixed shade in its place. I've seen both the Speedglas and Miller Elite helmets with these done. However, I can't figure out how to go about doing it. From what I can tell, the Elite would be too big to fit a...

RazorWeld welders?

Anybody heard of them? They've got a DC/repair facility near me in Kent, WA. They're built by Jasic (China) but seem to be pretty good machines. You all seem to be a little more Chinese friendly and understand that not everyone can afford a $10,000 welder for their machine. I know they were at FabTe...
