Sorry about the hi-jack OP!

I've said that dozens of times in various welding thread discussions on here -- if you can't see - you can't weld!!
I had the machine set at 20 amps (variable with my foot pedal control) and had it also set on pulse -- and holding a really really tight arc..... so "sight" was an issue! There just wasn't much light running ahead of the torch. There isn't much of a "joint" when butting two razor blades!! I'd have to stop - get back on the butt joint and start running some more.
Glad you got a good quality helmet! It makes a world of difference.
