Forney57070 Lens Replacement Gold Welding Filter, 4-1/2-Inch-by-5-1/4-Inch, Shade-9

I can see way better thru this lens as i weld

Excellent arc/overall coloring (gold/yellow) under the hood, and the entire part is illuminated well, also. I use it for DC TIG, and the lighter lens (Shade #9) works very well from 50 amps on down, which is perfect for the sheet metal/small machined parts I weld on. Occssionally I will use more than 50 amps, up to 125, which is bright but still perfectly weldable. Durability is the same as any other normal glass lens - I lengthen the life of my lenses by putting a layer or two of scotch tape around the edges, which stops edge cracks from welding. My first lens lasted about 6 months of normal wear, tear, & dropping (I don't use a clear cover lens over it, as I used it strictly for TIG - no spatter). Just bought two more replacements. Highly recommend.

Works great would buy again, if needed

The shade #9 lens is excellent for low to medium amperage welding (50 - 140 amps). Unlike traditional lenses where the arc and puddle is a green color, this gold lens produces a yellow to orange color arc and puddle which is more relaxing for my eyes and can I weld longer. I've used this lens in multiple welding processes such as SMAW (stick welding), GMAW, TIG, and FCAW. I wouldn't recommend using this lens on high amperage welding (170 amps or greater) buy yourself darker lens.

My other gold lenses show green light while welding. This one shows yellow light. Just be prepared for the difference.

I received exactly what I ordered and wanted.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GOLD FILTERED LENS!I actually meant to return this and been too busy to go through the hassle for a couple bucks.It's not a true gold lens. It's green. Absolutely worthless to me since green gives me migraines within an hour of welding.

now I can see that I do not know how to weld the lens is Perfect
