How hard is it to learn this wire welding? What are the differences in the
MIG, TIG, etc, and which ones can be used with and without adding a gas? What
are the differences in the Argon or the carbon dioxide and when would it be
appropriate to use each? What is your opinion on the 115 volt wire welders
which sell for about $500? Are they any good, or would I need a 220 volt
odel
selling for about $750? I want to learn, and to do sheet metal and body
repairs, but I wonder if I am trying to learn too much too fast.
Your comments or ideas are welcome.
