Welders, question about Miller Elite Auto Shade Hoods???
I bought a Miller Elite hood about 6 months ago. I really wasn't that Impressed with this hood. The shell is not rated for overhead welding, and whenever you go for more than 10 mins. without welding I have to take it off and press the reset button, otherwise it doesn't shade fast enough and I flash my eyes. I bought this one online from Cyberweld, I was wondering if this is common with all of miller's autoshade hoods, or did I get a knockoff or counterfeit. I would think for what these hoods cost they would be better made. Any input on these is appreciated.
I liked my old "Fibremetal" brand hood, because of the sturdiness of the hood, but want the convenience of autoshade. Do you know if there is anything like this out there.?
Those hoods are nice for a novice welder or one who does a lot of spot welding. I agree the shell is rather weak compared to the old Pipeliner hoods. It's a trade off, personally for the welding I do they would be a benefit but if I were a pro I'd use the tried and true Pipeliner (I'd get rid of the rubber band for a ratchet though). But that's just me.
