: Hi Bill,

: The Hobby air system looks very interesting, much better price than
: the ones I ran into the last time I looked around. Do you happen
: to know whether the mask and hose attachment will fit under a
: welding helmet? The only illustration I could find is poor but
: it looks like the intake hose is front and center and might not
: work under a helmet. Might be worth adapting to a side input
: though. The turbine pump sounds ideal, and the price seems just
: doable compared to a home build.

: Thanks for the heads up.

: Best regards,

: Allan Edie

I don't know for sure that it'll work under a welding helmet or not, the equipment has been updated since I first tried one, about 25 or so years ago.
