In 1981 we turned the world of welding on its head by introducing the first commercially-viable auto-darkening welding filter. Ever since then the Speedglas™ brand and the technology behind it has been the standard to which others aspire. Continually inspired by welders For almost three decades now, we have worked closely with welders, safety engineers and ergonomic specialists to constantly improve the performance and comfort of our products. And we’ve persistently collected user insights and comments from around the world to inspire us to create this, our next generation
of welding protection. The new 3M Speedglas 100 Welding Helmet delivers outstanding protection, comfort and performance with distinctive graphic designs. Welders can benefit from its excellent optical quality and reliable light-to-dark switching at a highly affordable price. The Speedglas 100 can be used with most arc welding processes, such as stick, MIG and TIG applications greater than 10 amps. It's also the ideal "entry-level" auto-darkening helmet for occasional users, such as hobbyists, farmers and maintenance or construction workers. The Variable Shade Filter has three sensitivity settings: a normal setting used for most types of welding (both indoors and outdoors), a setting for when other welders are working nearby, and a setting for low-current or stable arc welding.
