Shop Didn't Generate $.01

i dont see how anyone could regret getting 1
my only regret is i didnt get it sooner

keep in mind that i am not a pro just a hobbiest and the $225.00 i spent on it was real hard to justify. that kind of $$$ can get me a lot of other stuff for my shop, and now that i have it i only wish i had talked myself into getting it sooner
to date my shop has not made me $.01 but has given me $99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.9 9 werth of fun

James,

I live in Easton PA (right on border of PA & Jersey) and work in Manhattan. My shop too - has not earned me a penny yet

We should get together and start our own business - fabriacting things - anything - just so we can do what we love to do - WELD BABY!!!!!

iso50,
Keep us all posted.

fun4now,
I don't recall the part number, but maybe Bulldog will see this post. He says he picked them up for about $6.

I'll probably have mine for sale after the 20th. Decided that after Andy shows me the stuff, I'm going to try and go back to what I do well, photography.

[fun4now]

mag

you got a part # for that lense.
would like to get myself 1

[Alex]

I just gotta post my $0.02. I've had my BW Elite for about a month now and like a lot of you, I've occasionally forgotten to press the ON button before strikin' my first arc. It ain't comfortable, but better than bare eye. As for when its ON, its so d*mn fast you couldn't even blink that fast. As I said in an earlier post, this thing is pure ***. Bulldog sent me a 2X magnifier and WOW what a difference that made. I can't imagine welding without my BWE and magnifier anymore for any reason. Only problem is, my son wants to use it all the time.

cool

leave it to miller to make thing's easy for us

a few thousand hr's ummm that could take me a wile

[DDA52]

The book says it is a coin type CR2450 Lithium battery or equivalent. ( Miller p/n 217043 if anyone cares ) It sounds like they used a readily available battery. At a life of a few thousand hours with MIG, I don't think you'll be replacing them often.

[Steved]

What kind of battery are in those helmets?

Eventually they have to be replaced. Is that something that you can buy somewhere easy or is it a special batter?

[fun4now]

e-bay cheepo

i almost got 1 of thouse till i got on here and read a cuple of posts about how they realy work and what happends if you drop it
speeking of droping it yep i already did that
put it on a hook 7 1/2 ft. up thinking it would be safer up out of the way turnd around to walk away and booom merfies law i gess but on the brighter side it still works great and only a few litle scratches on that cool stars and stripes paint job

as for the extra $20.00 for the paint insted of black go for it it realy look good might as well splerge its your X-mass present right

looks like you got what you paid for. and we elite owners got what we paid for.
IMHO they are worth the money.

Yes, thanks, and I agree. I was un-educated when I bought the helmet, based on the specs listed for the helmet, it looked more than safe. I think in this case the helmet does not perform as advertised.

I'm glad to be able to verify what a known good helmet brand is, great to be on this board, thanks much for the insight.

I checked on the prices, I haven't decided if it's worth the extra $60.00 for the larger sized window or not.

Then I can get one just black instead of painted, but it's only about $20.00 difference between them.

I'm thinking this will be an early Christmas present, lol. Unless someone has a small window they don't need, and are upgrading to a Big window.

Let me know,

Don
