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 seen the Henrob demonstrated at many car/hot rod shows and it is a very nice piece. I never pulled the trigger to buy one but if I came across a used one for sale I'd consider it. You can never have too many tools (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
