Hobart hood xvs series autodark welding helmet?
I am going to school to become a welder and was wondering if that is a good helmet for doing tig. It says on hobart.com that not recomended for low amp tig? Does it still do tig welding? Would i need a low amp tig rated helmet? Thanks for the help!!
What happens is the hood will "cut out" at low amps (cut out = go to lite shade while welding not good). I would not buy it if you weld below 20 to 30 amps. It may work for higher amps but it is risky. The hood is triggered by the amount of uv light that hits the sensor. Some hoods will cut out and in (in tig) at low amps but are good for mig and stick at those low amps. I use a Speedglas hood (great for low amp tig) at 1 amp with no problems. I would buy a hood with a variable shade lens so you can weld anything as some go from a shade 9 to 13. Miller, Jackson, Speedglas are good hoods you should have no problems with. The Speedglas is about double the price of the hood you are looking at but well worth it! I have had many auto hoods and settled on the Speedglas because they advertised full tig capable, and the quality. Shop around you can find better prices online. Good luck!
