I haven't bought a helmet in 15 plus years. You don't need a $700 helmet to do machine type welds by hand. What do you think welders did before automatic helmets. My last helmet I paid about $100 and it worked just fine. If you have that kind of expendable cash or if you make your livelihood welding then by all means.
But you don't need one be proficient at welding.

There’s no $700 helmet in my future.
At most I’m going to get the Esab Savage A40.
The batteries are giving out in my AD unit and they aren’t replaceable.
I got flashed yesterday twice so that’s twice too many times.

I wasn't referring to your posts just in general.

That helmet ($429) is less than the Fusion 360 one year subscription!

Re: expensive lids.

A case could be made one could get by with a less expensive house and (or) car also.

Makes a $500 helmet pale by comparison.

Chip tray in place, saw is bolted down.
Very sturdy and a much better height.

Nice job on the tray and stand. Here’s some of my clamping pics for you to ponder

Thanks!
Those are very clever, especially the half pipes with handles.

Great clamping inventions.
