You do some incredible work! What you do is art! I've been using a mig for a long time and want to start using a Tig for my body panels. What Tig welder do you recommend? |

I use a old Lincoln welder . I like older machines because if something goes wrong with them they are EZ to fix . New machine's have circuit boards and a lot of money to fix . something nice on new machines ! The higher the amps the lower the amps will start on . Good for real thin metal. And I never use filler rod thicker than the metal I am welding . I use .023 rod usually for 20-18 gauge steel . _________________ Shipping is NOT included in any of my products or parts.

Again....
Amazing work. That takes, patience, experience, and attention to detail.
You must have a great amount of satisfaction with a project when you are done.
That, there, is art man. |
