Well guys... I haven't used it yet but I scored a Hobart XVS helmet yesterday at Orscheln's. Apparently they were closing them out so I got a smokin' deal on it. It doesn't have the grinder setting on it but it does have a variable setting from 9-12. With what limited time I will use it for, this helmet was an aswesome pre-black Friday buy.
If you need one, check your local Orscheln's.
