| Gas welding has its place but there are certain things that it cannot do very well. Heat control is also an issue--you simply can't keep the heat down with gas like you can with MIG and expecially TIG welding. It is difficult to close a blind hole with gas unless you can get behind it. The learning curve on MIG welding is also not so steep as it is with gas and TIG. |
