Hey guys, I have kinda been in the market for a new helmet. Anyway, based on your recommendations I looked up Optrel and I like what I see! Quick question, what model are we talkin'? I like the e680 as I can lower the shade a lot lower than my current helmet (9 is the lowest setting). The e670 look nice too with it's auto adjustments. I know on aluminum there is a lot of variation of brightness during the weld process. The price for the e680 is really attractive too!
I am mainly looking at low amp TIG welding as my current helmet "drops out" quite often. Tough to weld when you are seeing spots!
Thanks in advance!
