welding
 
i dont own a tig welder.. and my mig cannot do tig like some can.. i have a arc welder.. do you recommend mig or arc.. i can do both.. but what would be better... my only concern is if i decide to do custom headers my mig cant penetrate the thicknesses i see you guys have for flanges.

I need a hug.


(bevelling weld edges and multiple passes make up for lack of penetration)

Some Miller stick machines have a scratch start / lift arc option on them its a pain in the ass but yes they do. You need the torch, gas house, flow meter, and consumables
