Can I make a mount and put my MIG unit up on top of my TIG unit ? Would the Tig running screw with the MIG electronics ?



The MIG is a Lincoln sp170 (220v)



The TIG is a Lincoln Square wave 175 plus



Thanks

in our shop, the tig unit sits on top of the mig, has been that way as long as I can remember.

1984?

You going to run them both at once, are you?

No just need the floor space.

Thanks

Now, if we could find a way that a welder that's turned off could be folded up and put away......

Maybe the crane lift eye would puncture a slot into the belly of the one above ? Or are they rack mounted and on rollers - and floating... :-)

I need an RC sky hook that has a 2 ton lift - maybe a 5 ton if I dream!

Sky hooks were used in research all the time - standard answer on how things were held up. We used battleships to anchor things down. Sometimes tanks.
