Ketariniii Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Alright. So im looking to get the flat green lenses, but the arc welding lenses i have found so far have been too dark. Does anyone have a link/product number for the lens that they use? Quote
TK-9805 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Hi Alex, Here is a link to lenses just like I purchased: ----- They are about 1/8" thick, so they are super rigid, and very easy to see through. Edited December 6, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote

firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Depending on your timeframe runnriottt will be making green lenses at a much lower cost soon, and another member (sorry cant for the life of me remember who) was making sets. Someone will prob chime in on this to correct me Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Posted January 5, 2008 That sounds good too. Ive just been avoiding starting a paypal account. Quote
kiyotei[TK] Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 the tint level you want on welder masks is #3. I think most welding supply stores carry it. Quote
Smitty Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 You do not want welding lens they are going to be way too dark. What you are looking for is the lens for acetylene/Oxygen cutting torches. Welding lens are almost completely blacked out they are so dark. Quote
Burge Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 You do not want welding lens they are going to be way too dark. What you are looking for is the lens for acetylene/Oxygen cutting torches. Welding lens are almost completely blacked out they are so dark. The face shield kiyotei is refering to is the same thing your talking about. Some people say use "Shade 5" but that is way too dark. The "Shade 3" is great not too light not too dark. The face shield I uesed is made by: Jackson Protective Faceshields Shade IR/UV # 3.0. You can pick them up at any welding supply store and cut into a few lenses so if you mess a set up it is no big deal. Quote
Runnriottt Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Those are exactly what I use Burge... I have bulk sheilds, thats why I produce so cheap. As soon as the protptyles go out, (This week) and fit is tested, Ill start a full run for the Troops. grade 3 is a good blend for flash and hid your eyeness... Quote
SethB6025[501st] Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 #3 here too, works great. Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks Guys. I may just wait for runnriottt and pick up some of his, we shall see. Quote
elkamino Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Here's a suggestion.....Not a flat lens but this works like a charm: http://www.jacksonsafety.com/linkdetails.cfm?groupid=3002832 I can get about 4-6 pair of lenses out of one face shield and the curvature matches my helmet perfect.
