Some one please educate me...
I am a novice welder at best. That means I only weld maybe 1 time a month -
Mostly MIG with my 187 - occasionaly stick. And this is usually when something is in need of repair - or I need to make a jig for my custom wood shop.
My question is simple... Is my sheild too dark??? In good bright sunlight, I can not see any thing of my work in front of me. When I strike an arc I can see my work - but I still want to see better.
I have a very cheap lid from Central Tractor - I am not in the mood to spend a fortune on a high quality lid - is there a scale or test to know that I have the right sheild?? Meaning too little or too much???
Thanks.
