Show me your welding helmet and welder.

Just thought I'd post some pictures of my new welding helmet it's a Miller Ultra digital. 3 mode settings grinding, cutting, and welding. Adjustable shade from 3-13. And cool graphics. Cost less than a visit to the ER from burning your eyeballs up.

Bonehead should like this it has Skulls!

Here's the welder I use most Lincoln Pro Mig 175. I'm pretty happy with it.



This is the old gun for the heavy duty stuff. Lincoln Idealarc 250 I have no idea how old it is but it will probably last forever. My father-in-law gave it to me when he quit farming. It has reverse polarity,AC, DC and infinite amp adjustment.

i want to rob those piston/bone rods idea for a tattoo. that is a kick arse helmet.

No you don't! I want to. That would be a cool tat. I've had a design like that in mind for awhile jusy haven't done it yet.

Mine!

Ok... here's mine! Both my mig & plasma cutter are both 110 & 220!

This is going to take a while.... here is the first welder of 8.

Cool stuff fellas. I'll try and remember to take a photo of mine tomorrow. In the meanwhile, Bonehead can post the rest of his welder collection

My favorite of 3 plasma cutters...

My Miller Spectrum 375 Plasma. Hey Tripper, how do you like that protable Miller Plasma? I was thinking about buying that one. But got this one instead.

I love it & use it all the time for stuff I never even thought of. I'm usin' it right now buildin' a metal fence in my back yard.

Used this Hobart "the Hood" for about 3 years before it quit me.

Mere's my Miller helmet.....



My trusty Millermatic 250 MIG. Use it a lot.........


And my older than dirt gas rig...............


And my Hypertherm plazma............

So tell me about the hypertherm, likes, dislikes? I'm looking at a 45 right now, they say it's the cat's ass, just wondering what someone who actually owns/uses one has to say...

I like it when I use it but I tend to forget I have it and do things the hard or old fashioned way sometimes. I can tell you this, there have been cutting jobs I've done where nothing else would have worked but a plazma cutter. When I needed to cut the body off of my Anglia without ruining the paint or outer sheetmetal, nothing else would have cut it (pardon the pun). I haven't really used other brands, so I have no comparison. But I like this one.

I have the hypertherm 1000, and so far it is a great machine.

Here is my old Jackson hood, I have probably owned several dozen different hoods, but I have a few that have been really good. Not an auto hood, but it is my spare now. Flames on it were before everybody had flames.

My new one.... nothing added yet

That's gonna need some flaming skulls or something!

I started welding with a welder like this one 35 years ago, and still own one. The new ones are not quite the welders the old ones were. I built cattle guards for the oil field, and took the money and bought a new Miller big 20, and a 1 ton truck. Then I really went to work.

this one is the work horse in my shop, it is even "on" in the picture. It is a 220 unit, and welds sweet.

Helmet is an old Selstrom Super Slim,with hand painted bullet holes and rivets.
