Guest Moonrokk Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Scouts....I'm overwhelmed with what I've been finding on the internet regarding welder's lenses. At this point, I dont even know what's sufficient. Anyone can point me in the right direction where to find good priced lenses, model #'s or have any extra material leftover? Thanks, ~Moonrokk Quote
ukscout Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 hi chris try ebay or try a local car window tinting company Quote
jabbasdead Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 yeah, I would try the window tinting places for scraps. Take you helmet in and they will probably give it to you for free since the toss bigger pieces than what we need for your lens. If you take you helmet, it is usually good for a few pictures and free scrap. Quote
Guest Moonrokk Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Window tint scraps...great idea! I'll keep that in mind. Gracias ~Moonrokk Quote
4505Marcel Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I buy shade 5 welders head shield lenses the type used for gas welding where the lense covers your whole face and not just the sily rectangle, I can get about 3 lenses out of a piece and there usually about £5 ish Quote
Darth Voorhees Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 i use anchor brand which i get here.... http://www.shoplet.com/Anchor-brand-Visors...1013442UDG/spdv They are about $3 a pop. Quote
TB-5027 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I have a cheap roll of window tinting film that I use for my cars so I plan on using some of it for my visor if it's not dark enough... I ordered a KS helmet, we shall see. Quote

Darth Vorhees...I noticed the link was for a model "DG." There's also a model "C" for ony $1.97. Would you happen to know the difference between the two? Quote
Wickedfluxx Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I went with this one, which was a bit more expensive than the others referenced here. I would probably go with another recommendation due to cost, but thought I would post regardless to give you an idea . It was a shade 5. http://www.criticaltool.com/willson-willso...s-11390068.html Quote

4505Marcel Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 This is what I buy http://www.diywelding.co.uk/?i=39583 Quote
Guest Moonrokk Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Great sources everyone. I'm sure this will be helpful to the newer bucket makers! Thank you. Quote
CCBacara Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 So the scout lens is dark green, not black? Totally looks black in any photo I have seen, LOL. Quote
Wickedfluxx Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 So the scout lens is dark green, not black? Totally looks black in any photo I have seen, LOL. Most are dark green, yes. The black effect is a combo of the lens shade as well as painting the inside of the helmet black so that your eyes don't show through. Quote
BLUERAM Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 ESB Fett and TD's are also dark green as well as others I think, they all appear black though. Another lens source is fastenal dg lens. Its lighter than a shade 5 but darker than a 3, it's great for low light events. Quote
