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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) BTW Charlie, Have you ever used a Henrob. I've seen them demo'd and thought "Holy Crap that was sudden. That stuff flowed like water but then again it was .035 and .042 aluminum skins. And I second all the other 2nds for oxy/acetylene rigs. I've had my Victor for 25 yr's. Charlie, you forgot about using the gas for "hail dent removal". (I used to live in TX). Another thing to remember. Mig is more brittle and harder to grind down. If your in a high vibration environment the gas weld is gonna hold up better (unless you've got some large ovens and a boatload of experience in heat treating.)
