Cheater lenses

They do help and I'm pushing 60 so seeing is and issue. I took a TIG class and the instructor told me the same. Another student let me use his helment with a 2X lense and man what a difference it made. I got a large lense at northern tool and put it in my helment. Really a plus for me.

Went to closing on a house recently: the title agency has a big conference table to conduct closings, and on the table there was a coffee mug full of loaner pens and a coffee mug full of loaner reading glasses.

I've been trying to figure a way to get readers under oxy-fuel goggles- thanks for the tip about the 2x4 mag lenses.

I also tried cheater lenses in my welding helmet and they worked good. Problem was when I flipped up the helmet. I still needed to reach for my reading glasses to inspect the work. So I eventually gave up and just wear the glasses under the helmet.

Same here. And lots of room in the helmet. Problem with me, sweat and they want to slide down. Now funny is my glasses with the plasma shades over them. They are about the same size and do not overlap well. Sometime I have to use some weird head angles to see.

Mike,
That is why I went with a pair of reading glasses. Neck was starting to ache from tilting my head back. Now all I need is a little fan to blow cool air under my helmet and I will be set.
