The young man who has been working out of my shop for several years is now getting a number of commissions for his welded stainless furniture and wants to invest in some welding equipment. He has gotten very good with my Miller 150 MIG but I think it is time for him to graduate to TIG. His work is primarily polished 304 tube and thin flat stock with welds ground flush and polished.
He is getting up into 4 digits for his work so he can afford an Econotig. Would TIG be more appropriate for that work?
