I've heard solar only ones are shite, but that's only 2nd hand info. You know anyone that uses one of these? I've got a standard 'ol BOC mask with a gold lense. $15 for the mask, lense was about $12 from memory, it doesn't really make any difference that I can tell.
i used one when i was learning how to stick weld...thought it was pretty good...sure beats the standard ones where you have to take it off to see anything...

Lots? Is this for the jig as well? The subframe itself wont need much, you'd get change out of a 6m length.
yeah the subframe shouldnt use much...but the jig will use atleast 8m i'd think...perhaps a bit less...i was gonna take a spin out to the metal recyclers out near the gateway bridge...and get 16m of some heavy stuff...not too heavy...but suitable for the subframe and the jig...was looking at 40x40 external with 4mm walls...perhaps 50x50 but that seems a bit too beefy...prolly overkill for the subframe...
