Hello everyone. I’m trying to get a better understanding of how welders choose the correct lens shade for different jobs.

I’ve seen estimates ranging from around $1,000 for smaller ancillary gearboxes to $100,000 or more for large mining, construction, or heavy-duty units.

If you have a good local supplier or... Read more
