Choosing your chop top welding hood
The welding hood is a protective device that is used to protect the welder’s eyes and face from the heat of the arc. It is usually made of metal, and it has a top that can be folded down to cover the welder’s head. The welding hood also has a visor that can be raised or lowered to protect the welder’s eyes from sparks.
The head is made up of a metal frame with a mesh screen in front, which protects the welder’s eyes and face from sparks and heat. The neck is made up of an elastic band that goes around the welder’s head to hold it in place while they are working on their project.
The most common type is the top-chop type, which has a hinged top that can be opened up to allow for easy access to your face and eyes.
