[QUOTE="renegade, post: 869417, member: 7535"] I think you may be a little confused(or maybe I am) form your comments on brazing. You can WELD with a gas torch as well as braze, heat and cut. If I had to have only 1 welding rig it would be a gas torch, with practice you will be amazed at what you can weld with it. I have welded alum beer cans together for years just to show some people it can be done, but a TIG is easier to control and will give much nicer welds than anything else. A MIG is faster and I believe takes a little more skill to get as strong a weld. They each have their purpose, but if given the choice I TIG everything. I use Victor for my gas welder and a Miller Syncrowave for my TIG and a small Lincoln for MIG (no flux core only solid wire) I have been a certified aircraft and pipeline welder for 45yrs, so I have burned, and burned up, my share of metal.
