Jeff --- there's so much to learn about TIG vs MIG… so many settings and what affects what.

Most guys can hardly master a MIG welder with amperage and wire feed - and add to that 'gas'. The issue really becomes how often someone actually uses this stuff. Home "builders" can go for months without laying an inch of weld. Then go out and expect to have their welds look pro grade.

Now you toss in the complications of TIG - the hand coordination - all the settings - the sizes of cups and tungsten - the gas settings - AC vs DC - frequency - and on and on…. and it becomes an issue like the difference between adjusting a carb and tuning EFI with a laptop!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
