whats the proper way to view while TIG'ing. better to go dark and close
up, or further away while lighter on the shade? i find myself being real
close to the arc with a darker shade, but i dont think is good for my eyes
as the UV is very intense at that distance. but then again, if i view from
a further distance i find myself having a harder time watching the pool
and flow, especially while welding around circles in the vertical plane.

any advice??

I am usually somewhere around 6 inchs. Just so I can see the pool a little.
Thats a .40...tip....

Exception would be....junk steel 3/32 tungsten...then its further away

I finally got myself to quit using a circular motion, like I use when
arc/mig, its more of a back and forth motion, for my tig.
