There are many occasions that I can't get my MIG gun into a place very well. Because the head on the gun is so big.
I imagine if I were building a header, some of the tight spots in between runners might give me trouble.
Sometimes I'm so deseperate I unscrew the defuser, but it doesn't shield very well then. :P
Any tips? I know I should be using a TIG. but.. gotta use what you've got at the moment.
Most MIG guns have optional gas nozzles. You can get very narrow gas nozzles that make welding in tight spots much easier.

Hmm. really. Does lincoln has one, my welder is 135T.
They should.
I took a spare nozzle to the grinder and made it into a point shape. It gets into corners and is CHEAP.
