Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thinking of buying a migomag auto tint helmet for welding with my mig they have one on special atm that looks good, apparently they are a rebadged miller but im not sure just wondering what people think.

mate i'm on to my 3rd auto helmet it's a miller elite couldn't be happier, had a boc one that died, then a speedglass that i felt was not good enough as my eyes were always red/ sore etc always hopeless around corners. ask around before you buy to make sure its a good one, the guys in the shop don't even weld most of the time so don't rely on them.

ok so its worth the extra 100 or so $$ for the miller then, im planning on heading to migomag and alltools next week and test a few out on their test bench's to see what i like the best.

if you can afford the $400 the miller elite is awsome, way better than the speedglas we have a work

also its not just the lens, miller stays flipped up until you pull it down (speedglass etc falls just before you have lined up something - so often you want to kill something), adjustable sensitivity only available on the dear speedglass, 4 arc sensors etc etc

I have used a few of the good helmets and seriously the cheap one that I bought from Bunnings $148 is with out doubt the best I have used.

the millers look pretty sweet i like this one, i dont mind spending the bit extra ito look after my eyes




This is the migomag one i have been looking at they are similar to miller im not sure if the quality is the same tho

I currently have a Dominator VI auto darkening helmet, pretty good helmet paid a little over $400 from memory. The lens etc aren't badly priced which is a bonus.

ok i talked to a few tool shops and the migomag helmets run the same lenses as the standard miller elite series helmets, i have tested both and they seem to be identicle some of the miller elete's have a bigger lense but the main difference between the 2 is the graphics you pay the extra for the name and pictures on the helmet
