TM2000 for electric welding, S10-S14
Quote:
Norm, I use the same TM Lens for all my gas work, so 4130, 6061, 316, cast iron, and SiBronze all get the same visual nitpick. For Tig, I do not like the auto-dark lens Sam-I-Am, I do not like green eggs and ham ... I have been arc-flashed waaay too many times with those @$$%%&&*!! auto-dark $$$$$ friggin' $%&@!!! goddam sumbitch inventions.... so I use my own prototype S10-S12 non-flashy-flicker steadfast arc lens. (Yes, I am working on making the TM2000 available in S10-S14) I LOVE my lens .... been using a proto S10 for tiggy and sticky for decades now. ... ( Oh - by the way - Got a S10,S12,S14 proto developed, and tested .... PRIMO ... called my engr back... wife answers .... "he died last week" .... okay- notes? - "No, he kept all in his skull" ... O- my --friggin' - grrrrrrrrrrr.... BACK TO DEVELOPMENT ... sigh .... ... ) soooo ..... Numsy, numsy, love that lens ...... sorry to be selfish ....

"Human eyes need double the light after age 40.
Double again after age 50. And again, at age 60. When you are pushing 70 or 80 you need lighting added to just about everything you do." Man, am I ever glad to hear that! I will be sure to add that to my 'senior moment' responses (excuses)........ Headed out for eggs and grits, then on down to Jimmy's to move things in his shop make room for his new machine.

Thanks everyone for the input and advise. Jim thanks for the link I am going with honeywell but in glasses form. I've been gas welding aluminium fine with plastic screen for the last 10 years and vision is still clear through them. But then again I have nothing to compare them with so perhaps ignorance is bliss. Of course I value my eye sight but again 10 years and my eyesight while admittedly is rather poor hasn't deteriorated in that time at all. Please don't think i'm trying to discourage anyone from buying tm2000 though, if so many top fabricators are saying they are the business you cant argue with that.

The drop-ball test is pretty severe I admit, and I do not know how ANSI derived this standard. But as I have been told by other manufacturers, the product is safety eyewear, and at this point in my career I now understand that people are inherently pretty unsafe. So I guess the standard is there for a reason. (Used to be that welding equipment was registered and approved for safety with the major Fire Departments - Chicago, New York, San Francisco ....)
