Reply:His eyes are the #1 tool an inspector uses..... I believe the proper term is "VISUAL ACUITY"http://www.aws.org/certification/docs/cert0603.pdfDuring fit up a "High / Low" gauge is used.A protractor measures the bevel.A spacing tool to set / measure the gap.I feel like I went back to "Fitter 101" class.........HoboLincoln SA200's... at least 15 - 20. They come and go. Growing partial to the "Short Hoods" in my old age. Last count on Short Hoods was 13 in possession.
