Auto Dark Welding
How do you pick the correct welding shade for different types of welding?
For MIG and Flux core welding, do you need a differently rated shade. We have a # 10, and don’t know how to tell when we could need a darker shade like a 12 for example. Somewhere we read about looking at a bare light bulb to see if you can see the outline of it as an indicator of needing a darker shade. We are just learning about welding and would like to know when an auto darkening system is better and how to pick a good one.
thanks
you use what is most comfortable you need to be able to see the puddle of molten metal to make sure you have good penetration and a decent looking bead I prefer a glass #10 and a glass cover plate how ever I’m thinking of buying a self darkening helmet as the price has come down to around $ 50 the auto darkening system has been on the market for about 15-20 years my brother bought one when they first came out and paid about $ 275 but the novelty wore off for him you can get a auto darkening from www.harbor freight.com Do not look at the light with out a welding lens as you will burn your eyes out!
