Hossa's and Kovalchuk's visor model....

i was watching the boston atlanta game tonight and even the refs were wearing these visors.

It looks easier to get a stick crammed in there and to get cut along the eye. It looks different though.

Find a router and use that instead of a grider or whatnot. Since you can change the router bit you can wind up with a rounded edge instead of something sharp. Might be easiest if you had a routing table, you can rig one up by mounting a router in a hole with a piece of plywood.

You'll need a special bit for the router, IMHO. A normal bit will either chip it or melt it. They do make bits for working with acrylic, that may work.

if i had a template to stick over the visor i could do this no problem. I would personally rather throw the template over the HS22AV because it covers more of the face than the normal HS22, and that actually looks like what they did with kovalchuks.

i got one like kovalchuks(bigger one) from monty not too long ago, awesome visor, just wish it had the tint like on hossas

[JoeyJ0506 192]

There was a Hossa prostock on ebay around Christmas time, I bid on it, but the winning price was around $120 I believe, no thanks, I'll stick with my oakleys.

[K9 Unit 1]

haha ye the only problem, the freaking price...i don't really want kovalchuks coz it doesn't have the prowave part of it, my nose gathers like beads of sweat...really weird

The ones I've had that were new in the wrapper were labeled Itech 55p notch.

Wow that looks great!

How did you do it? Did you use a template to get the shape?

I used a dremel to cut the visor. I just used the cutting bit that had the sharpest edge made for fine cuts so that it didn't melt where I was cutting. Then I used the sanding bit to round and smooth off the edges. I wasn't really concerned about the top edge, you can see it is a little rougher up there.

I actually just freehanded it and used a marker to draw the cutting line. If you look on the left screw in the picture you can see where I slipped a little with the cutting bit. I was kind of basing it off Havlat's visor.

I'm thinking about selling my Hossa Notch tinted visor.. I'll get pics up soon if anyone is interested. I custom cut 2 visors to be like Gaborik's I like em but I would'nt sell em cause they're not perfect. I could get pics up soon.

Edit: heres my Gaborik custom visor I have tinted on my 8k:

Well other then those little imperfections you pointed out it looks great, job well done.

Im thinking of trimming my Itech DX100 a little bit so thanks for the tips.

Maybe 30 minutes total?

Not my auction, but this isn't a bad deal at all: http://cgi.ebay.com/Breand-New-ITECH-55P-N...%3A1|240%3A1318

[TBLfan 25]

yeah, that's why it was posted on page 3.

Here's my notched Oakley:

I haven't even used the 4500 helmet yet. I'm probably going to put it on the intake but I may need to notch it a bit more.

Hey Fletch, These visors are the HS22's, but are modified in-house at Itech for the pros (as they request). These are non-certified (CSA, HECC). You can try cutting (and buffing the edges after), but modifying these more will compromise the little performance/structure they hold if you ever DO get a shot in the visor.

Just to clarify, are you talking about them having little structural integrity due to the modification creating stress risers and whatnot, or that the off-the-shelf non-certified visors (HS22, etc) are already very weak and unsafe, and the modification just makes them even worse?

Not my auction but I found this today...
