Has mig essentially replaced stick welding??
Awl--
Jes wunnerin-- In the new litany of home shows (which, if ever there were sleight-of-hand, these are proly it--as bad as weight loss/fitness infomercials??), I see everybody mig'ing away, incl. female pixies. Even on the ng's, I see little reference to stick, and mig has seem to have excluded stick even in HD/Sears, and gotten so cheap--not too long ago it was really big bucks .. The trades (the SEJW crowd) I would imagine still stick weld, but it seems that mig's abilities have really grown to handle stick-type one'sies/two'sies tack-weld/out-of-position type stuff. Opinions? ---------------------------- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |
