Are you using a PAPR system with your Optrel Hood or old Miller Hood.

I’m actually kind of curious if you have any opinion of PAPR systems

No, I don't!
I have a Lincoln welding fume extractor that I use when I have to weld a lot!

Re: Helmet: Optrel e684

Just upgraded mine today with Miller headgear 256174, and what a difference! I bought the hood because I love the clarity of the lens, but I rarely used it because I hated the poorly designed and uncomfortable heardgear! The Speedglas was my go-to hood because it was comfortable, regardless of the l...

Re: Just another 5' by 10' welding table, I know!!!

I made some trays for my bench dogs to be used as additional and height adjustable work surface, or as a walk way along the sides of my welding table, if I have something tall on my table top to weld. Welded frames from 1 1/2" mild steel angle. http://6ldesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/20...

Re: Dry Saw Blade Recommendations?

I've had good experiences with all the 14" Dewalt blades!
The guy who is sharpening my blades doesn't like to weld replacement teeth to the Evolution blades.
He said that they are very finicky in response to heat input!
I had no problem with the Dewalt ones in that respect.

I have a 4x8 CNC plasma water table, and would like to see how others efficiently clean their table and slats! http://6ldesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/20180331_163820-1024x768.jpg I used a needle scaler to clean the slats.

Re: Home made dry cut miter saw (lots of pics)

I've cut a lot of tubing with this homemade setup over the last three and a half years, and I couldn't be happier!
It's still as accurate as it was the first day!

Re: Fast Cut CNC?? worth the money

I bought a ShopSabre 4x8 table a year and a half ago, and I can only say the best about both machine, and customer service!
A big benefit is that the machine is built only 3 miles from my shop!
