Hey guys,
I was thinking about taking a welding course at a local Votech school, but I wasn't sure if the type of welding they offer will help me on the 914. I am looking to weld some patch panels and and fix up the area beneath the hell hole. The course covers the following: This course emphasizes: 1. Oxyacetylene welding and cutting 2. Electric arc welding 3. Heat selection on machines 4. Rod sizes and numbering 5. Safe and proper use of AC and DC units 6. Tig and Mig welding demonstrations I appreciate any advice as to whether or not this would help me. Or should I just buy a How to DVD on MIG welding. I just don't want to spend money on something that won't down the line. Thanks, Dave |

All good advice. I was mig'n before I learned gas and stick, but my welds improved considerably after I learned the other techniques from an actual instructor instead of just sticking metal together. The theory that any course will teach you will help you understand whats going on and keep you safe and your work safe as well.
