Default Eye protection

How dark of a lense should I be wearing when using a plasma cutter? Thanks in advance.

Do I here a deuce resto beginning? I think you'd be good with a medium tint. P cutters don't burn like a welder if you hold it right. The cutting cone blows through to the other side so you don't have much flash. Honestly, I don't use much more than my old light tint welding safty glasses from Case. But I'm old, and can't see anyway. I'm gonna want pics of the progress, and don't hesitate to call.

I use a shade 5 for the plasma and a shade 10 for welding.
You only have 2 so make sure you protect them!
