    price range on speedglas helmets

    so i went to orientation at boces(its the trade school in my state) cause they have a welding class and the instructor had a speed glass helmet that he let me use, i loved it. so i came home and researched them, theys pretty nice but i couldnt find a price on one

    so i guess my question is ; what is the normal range for a speed glass weldinh helmet?

    Got my 9100V from cyberweld.com last November for $235. Looks like they are still at that price. Actually my wife bought it for my birthday. Said I needed a new "welding mask"

    The were called either masks or helmets way back when.

    Here's plans to make one from a 1937 Popular Science magazine:
