Re: Proper Viewing (help)

One thing that helps me out with seeing what's going on (I too am always too
close to the work, don't feel alone.) Anyway, I got a decent set of reading
magnifying glasses at Walgreen's for $12.00 and it makes a huge difference
for me. And to make note- I have 20/20 vision uncorrected. They just really
help.

All the best,

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.
