Hi,
So, Mig welds are hardened and cannot be hammered to much. Tig welds are really small but I believe they are also hardened so they cant be hammered. Torch can be hammered. I also want to weld aluminum. Torch and Tig can both do this. Torch has the added benefit of being a red hot wrench which comes in handy in the rust belts. Torch can also cut...which is good. So, which would you guys buy? Tig or Torch. I already have mig...its just not good for sheet metal butt joints...I like smooth metal. RIch |
