Are you insane ? Whether you are Tig Welding, Mig, Plasma cutting OR even ARCH WELDING !! You I REPEAT YOU ALWAYS WEAR YOUR FUCKING MASK AND FUCKING GLVOES. The UV rays off that fucking spark = cancer and a serious sundurn from even 2 minutes worth of welding. i have seen guyz not put theirs on and come out fucking skin peeled and all. Unless you are braze welding (did i spell it right), you almost always need gloves & mask. Hell even with the cutting torch (oxy/acetiline), (probably fucked up that spelling to....). Bah or maybe you are just some tough mother fucker who thinks they can beat cancer down. I have gotten a bun from the rays, it ain't pretty.[/quote:3a493]
even if you wear a mask, the fumes will still get under it and u will breathe it. anyway i was just pointing that out, i dont give a fuck on when u knew it oOo:

the fumes are hardly a concern in comparision to the UV rays buddy. considering all a mig welder (the most common type of welding unit) on uses pure oxygen in order to ignite up etc. positive charge from the unit + ground = no lethal fumes. WThell are you talking about.. burnt medal is not lethal.

its not lethal no, but it can cause some damage to your lungs. my dad welds everyday at work and he taught me how. i know alot about it. i never said it was lethal. yes the light is more dangerous.

i just hate seeing fuji talk smakc like he was. I have been welding for years, their is no "small job". I still don't see how breathing in the by product is harmful, unless your welding lets say a peice of metal etc with paint on it. Which

A. paint blocks the connection between positive & negative = no spark no weld

B. welding paint = stupid, it can cause a fire.

C. I know of no metal regularly used metals that cause any type of lung damage. + also consider youcan wear a breath maks if this were the case, which is always availible at any placeo ffering welding etc.

i know the UV is bad, thats why when im doing anything more than a little hear-and-there i wear the mask... i dont do a lot of major welding, usually just patching things up

never seen anyone burned by it tho, that would suck

man even a small exposure is dangerous. That shit = cancer, wear your damnmask, worst comes to worse, and if you ffind the visor to dark, flip it open & put cutting torch goggles on underneath., not as dark but your still protected & the weld will be easier to see.


Note, I once wore just the goggles and my eye's wee fine, but the rest of my face was burnt to a crisp, it looked hilarious as well. Letsj ust say a lot of people got some good laughs from the imprints left.

i like the sigs.

the UV rays are the biggest concern, electric shock not a biggie, burns no worries.

fumes first dude sites indoors should be well vented.

in some booths there a vent almost directly over where we work so you can lite up a cigarette no problem, like i sometimes do
