Does anyone know of a pair of shade 4 glasses that arent green. I know with helmets you can get gold shades but Im trying to find something for plasma cutting that isnt green.
I just wear my sunglasses when plasma cutting... oops
It's not just the UV that damages eyes, the arc from a plasma can do damage if you look at it. Made that mistake one night while making some precise cuts with only my torch glasses on. Eyes hurt like hell for two days, like a mild arc burn.
Most people do not look directly at the arc, but use the gun to shield the direct rays so tinted glasses work fine but do be careful.
