    Gas and Tig, not so much with a mig. You control the heat more with a torch and Tig where with a mig you just aim.

    I am by NO means a expert. I speak only from my experience with the three.

    It always seemed to me that gas and tig were somewhat similar.

    mig is by far the easiest, literally anyone can do it. Tig, not so much.

    It's learning the different weld types, settings, materials...etc. not something you'll learn in a month unless you dedicate 8hrs a day.

    What is being welded?

    And I always thought TIG was the hardest, mig second, and arc the easiest.

    Depends on the person. Some people can never learn and some people are naturals. Then it takes some a while to figure out the technique

    started a topic How hard is it to mig/tig weld?

    How hard is it to mig/tig weld?

    Got a family friend looking to hire someone that has a good finished weld from mig and tig. How hard is it to quickly learn these two types of welds?
Working...
