Reply to "MIG welder"

I'm a Stick welder since I find the best penetration is with ARC. Its really hot and I like to burn in the first pass real hot and real quick. Usually its on Carbin Steel pipe. In the shop its TIG and its reall nice and clean for the first pass. The problem is we weld in unusual places. Schools Malls Office Bldgs. So we also use SMOKE EATERS. Have set off many smoke alarms. But the MIG got me thinking. It would be cool using it 110 volt I could put it up on a Scissor lift up in a ceiling little smoke ? No big gas machines with heavy leads ? I'm going to expand on this. You know some times we are creature of habit.

I also found STICHING the seem every couple inches on sheetmetal helps make the repair easier as not to burn thru.
