Why fixed shade?
The better you can see the puddle, the better you can weld.[/quote]Got my auto-darkening dialed down to about 8.75. I can go lower, but then it starts getting a little too bright..
That seems a bit low to me but everyone has a different light tolerance. I normally use a shade 11 or a shade 10 with dark safety glasses for anything under 150 amps and a 12 for anything over but for most people that is too dark. I find I have a harder time seeing the puddle if I do not have a dark enough shade.
Never really thought about going darker. Couldn't hurt to try, right?
