How hard is it to mig/tig weld?

The similarities you posted maybe? Biggest difference is that you are heating the metal to liquid with either a flame or electrical arc. There are obvious differences in techniques but either way you are melting metal with heat and adding filler as you do so.Originally posted by NoClassic View PostWhich part are you having a problem with?"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

Maybe I should have replaced that "it" with oxyacetylene(gas welding)?
Otherwise I am really lost on why you are confused.

It always possible, but every teacher I have ever had starts new TIG students off on oxyacetylene. Im not sure how holding a MIG torch with one hand as it spits out filler and stays at a constant amperage would teach you a damn thing about TIG welding.

I've been mig and tig welding for years it just came easy to me . I worked building com data electrical enclosures for years. We did everything from stainless , cold roll, galvanized, aluminum . It was a good way for me to learn alot of different typesLast edited by Hines57; 08-29-2012, 03:44 AM.

shit, if you want to make money welding, just get on a pipeline crew... $40-50/hr burning rods w/ a DC welder
