I was just about to sign up too. Oh well Iā€™ll hold out.

Just submitted a class for the following day. Should show up in 72 hours as the Metalshop needs the funds :slight_smile:

Now live PlasmaCam class for Feb 5th. Yes I know Super Bowl Sunday but I donā€™t watch that stuff.

You should be able to register for the Thursday, March 2nd class right now (one spot left) and then cancel your RSVP for the Tuesday class. Your class fee for the Tuesday class should be refunded.

I took the class this past Monday with Andrew Spencer, and he was a fantastic teacher! Classroom & hands-on training was spot on. I look forward to using this tool more.

OSHA recommends protective eyewear with a ā€œminimum shade of 8ā€ for plasma arc cutting (in cases where the arc is visible).

Here is a rough idea of what the ā€œshadesā€ look like.

By comparison, and Iā€™m not recommending these, here is a picture of what a shade 7 lens looks like:
