Well I did tivo the show and got to watch it last night..It was interesting but I wish it showed more about welding the avaerage man can do..Not the Explosion welding that has to be done at a jobsite or robot welding..Ohn well better than watching re-runs.

Can a mig and a tig machine be used with the same gas if the gas is pure argon ? I realize there is a " cost issue " but I would like to build a cart fro both machines and only use One gas Bottle with a switching valve to send gas to one machine at a time ?

Thanks...joe

Different gases. Mig uses 100% argon ONLY for aluminum. Otherwise, mig uses a Co2 mixture or somtimes straight Co2. Tig uses 100%argon, or a mix of argon/ helium. But mostly, argon.
