Thanks, sounds like a plan also. But I also did order a good helmet, a Lincoln Viking 3350 Series MOJO Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, got a good deal on ebay for it and it is brand new. I have spent thousands on my eyes from the 2 surgeries for cataract removals, figured I could spend $250 on a good helmet that has a 5-13 tint setting with a clarity of 1-1-1-1, even though I don't know what that means, I heard it is really good. Welding with a Miller using a Lincoln helmet, Oh well.Tommy Joe wrote:You have to look at the arc to see your puddle to make a good weld. If your having trouble staying on where you want your weld and old trick is to use soapstone and mark a line. Another is to put more light on the area. A 250 halogen works great, I was doing a weld test one time and having trouble seeing and one of the guys loaned me a 250 halogen, I'm a believer have owned one ever since.
