Control Arms

[Mathius]

It's not upset that I'm wrong its that I spent so much money on a TIG I guess I didn't need .
Sorry again don't know want I was thinking .

<shrug> You probably don't _need_ it, but it's definately going to serve you better than any other welder. It's a lot easier to TIG aluminum than with a spool gun (as we already said). You can also weld just about anything with a TIG with the right tungsten and filler rod, from stainless, to aluminum, to exotic metals like brass (lots of fumes, wear a ventilator mask) or bronze.

As I already said, it gives you more control too. Personally I'd love to have one.

I freely admit I'm not as good with a MIG as I am with a TIG, but it's because I don't have a lot of respect for MIG, so I never spent much time with it, except now that I can't afford a TIG, I rely totally on my MIG.
