I hate moving my TIG from the bench to my car because of the foot pedal. I borrowed a buddy's Miller finger control and really don't like using a wheel. I'm looking at the 6060 TIG button and wanted to know what others use and like.
MIG gets the job done but with 19 gauge I have to use a lot of small tacks to stop seams from warping. I'm tired of not being able to TIG in awkward positions. Any recommendations or suggestions? I finished up the trunk with my MIG and now want to pull the trigger on getting a finger control to complete the rest of the sheet metal work. I'll spend the day grinding and smoothing.

I purchased a used Miller several years ago with the finger control. Have never gotten used to it. The Miller hard plastic box does come in handy as a step stool though. My Lincoln MIG gets the job done, but would really like to master the art of TIG someday. Back in the day, I was good with Oxy/Acetylene torch |
