I admit the pedal was a little awkward to me, but I only had an
afternoon's worth of torch time. Do the finger tip controls allow
finer adjustments? I'd imagine a foot pedal valve would still be
needed for the shielding gas? A lot of great responses...thanks!

You can hook up a solenoid valve as an inline device on the gas hose,
triggered manually or by the foot pedal.
