mild steel,
stainless

capable
Of STICK
welding (SMAW)
and DC lift TIG welding

MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas welding and requires a
shielding
gas to protect
the weld until
it cools. Appropriate
shielding
gas based on the type of material you are welding
can be purchased separately
from your local welding gas dis
tributor. MIG welding is ideal for welding on thinner and clean
materials when a very clean excellent cosmetic looking weld is
required. An example would be automotive body panels.

not
have
a built in Gas Solenoid
so a one
piece gas valve TIG Torch is required, The gas valve must be
opened
manually
before welding
and closed
manually when
welding is completed. The arc is activated using a lift arc tech
