I had the 200 and sold it for the 205 I liked both machines abut like the 205 a bit better for what I do.Originally Posted by Rodsmachineshop
Im a novice welder that mostly works with 16 ga to 1/4 inch. for auto and tool fab. I had a tough time seeing the weld puddle with both welders, I bought a used Speed-glas 9002x to replace the HF (blue) helmet I used, that made some difference but still not seeing what I saw on welding videos. Having 63 year old eyes just dont work well for welding I guess. I then bought a cheater lens for the speedglas and it made all the difference in the world. I was in the LWS and they had generic cheater lens on special, I bought one and even though the HF helmet is not really designed to accept the lens it was easy to lift the retainer spring and fit the cheater lens in it, I now use the HF for mig and the speedglas for tig.
I could not believe what a difference the lenses made for me.
