I know how much CO2 I use when MIG welding. I'd like to know how the TIG process compares to MIG in gas consumption as I need to purchase a tank and want to know what size to get.
For you MIG & TIG welders out there, can you give me some idea about how gas consumptive TIG (argon) is compared to the same job done with a MIG (CO2)?
I do most of my welding outdoors. My "shop" is a 20' freight container with limited room. I know how sensitive MIG is to a slight wind. How does TIG compare; more forgiving, less forgiving?
I've never welded anything seated. How important do you rate the foot pedal as opposed to a torch switch?
How realistic are the steel and aluminum min/max figures quoted by Everlast? I've watched YouTube videos where I was surprised at how little power was needed and others where how much power was used to do a specific weld. The spread is confusing me.
I have no access to TIG expertise or supplies where I live (Roatan island). I've scanned Amazon's books for TIG education and couldn't find much. Can anyone recommend books or other educational materials (aside from YouTube) I might want to consider?
What are the odds that I'm going to like the torch(es) supplied with an Everlast TIG welder? Stated differently, how many of you have purchased after market torches, and specifically which ones, from whom, and with what options?
