hi there,

[]
i am using the correct filter shade (#11) for the current i am
welding with and its manufacturer meets the DIN specs for
welding filters. you cant see anything through it before the arc
is on.I have never seen spots following extinguishing of the arc.

hmmmm.... wacky idea for Monday.....
what about having some really bright lights pointing at the welding
area with an autoswitch to turn them ON when you weld, so the rest of
the job is lit up so you can see it as well as the arc?

what i would like to know is if any other welders here ever felt
eye strain following welding even when you were using filters of
the right shade?

my father-in-law is a professional welder. he reckons it's the
smoke. he says keep the smoke out of your face and you can weld all
week but one afternoon of smoke in your visor and your eyes have had
it.

swarf, steam and wind
