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 have a TIG button and can’t recommend it strongly enough. Once you have one you’ll never go back to the foot pedal.
At one point I started having a minor issue with the pressure pad - the guy that owns it provided great support and the fix was so cheap I don’t even remember what the cost was. This was on a unit that was about 5 years old, well used, and long out of warranty. He could have easily said buy a new unit but didn’t do that. Makes out of position welding a joy. I made mention of it in my build thread - page 4, post 77 (link in signature) |
