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 |

A torch weld can be hammered so you can flatten it.
The mig seems to crack quickly so it cant be hammered to much. A torch heats up nuts. A torch will cut 1/4 steel and its really fun to do...and cool. You NEED this Zach....it will be the most fun you have had with fire in a long time. I did this analysis...got a torch and never looked back. I learned how to weld thick steel in an afternoon. Still learning to weld sheetmetal, bit that just takes time. Rich |
