I learned many years ago, that the lightest and simplest hoods my
favorites.
I have always kept two of the Huntsman fiber board type, one with nothing
but a single filter lens, for TIG work only - an another with clear glass
on
both sides of the filter lens, for everything else.
Simple, lightweight and almost completely disposable.
Problem is, I bought a plasma cutter last spring, and am afraid to use it
with just burning gl*****. Everyone says I should use a shade 10, but it
makes it very difficult to see my layout lines.
Would a auto-dark helmet be much help? If so, what features do you
personally find desirable, and what are your thoughts.
What if you drop one, are they easy to kill?
Would I be better off buying a flood light on a stand, to help illuminate
the layout lines a regular shade 10 helmet?
Help, I love my new plasma cutter, but I'm afraid it's just something else
to cause me to go blind. And I don't want to give up either.
