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 |

If you can gas weld, tig and mig are a cake walk. I say go for it just to become a great welder. I wouldn't weld on a car with it though. It throws around way too much heat for what you need. As the others said it's great for cutting and heating up frozen fasteners.
If I was tripping over money I'd go with a tig. You can create some beautiful welds with it. |
