What eye protection for plasma cutting?

[spraypaintman]

What do you guys use? I just got a plasma cutter and my welding mask seems too dark for plasma cuts.

googles or glasses for oxy acetylene torch work great

Cool thanks guys!

Cutting glasses, same lenses as goggles but are like safety glasses, and a face sheild. A bunch of facial hair on fire is no fun!! Don't ask me how I know.

I've got this green tinted full face shield for doing tight work. Sometimes you get some blow black, my shield has pieces melted into it now. Like this but I paid 30 or 40 for it.

If you have a auto tint helmet you may be able to use it with it turned off. My speed glass helmet is a shade 3 when turned off and it works great. For tight areas I have shade 3 goggles.

Thanks for the info guys...I like that tinted face shield!

I picked up this inexpensive cutter the other day, good for sheet metal on 110. But it can also do 220 if needed.

just playing around on a tj body

Is that a regulator or filter on the back? I'd suggest putting a filter in front of the regulator if that is what it is. Unless you got really dry shop air. It will help it live longer.

Yes regulator on the back. Good idea to put a filter before the machine. I'll have to get one of those.
