I am interested in teaching myself how to weld with gas. O2 Accetiline, not MIG gas.
I have a mig welder that I am sort of competent with. Is there benefit to welding with gas over MIG, or am I going to find that if I buy the tank set up, I'll never use it over MIG. Zach |

I have a oxy/acet setup along with arc and mig. To be honest for welding around the DIY garage mig is all I use. However I learned on oxy and once you master the touch I really think it makes you a better overall welder. I still use it for cutting. I haven't cranked up the 300 amp buzz box in years. Keep an eye on local Craigslist as these come up quite often around here. One thing it really is good for is heating up frozen/rusted nuts,bolts,other. You can't beat the " blue wrench " for that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
