But our MIG welder is great. because on most steel there isn't any slag. The wire welder on the other hand, Jesus...

uhm, every MIG welder I've seen uses a wire feeder for providing the filler wire which doubles as a consumable electrode.

what do you mean wire welder? MIG is the same thing? [/quote]

They are the same thing arent they?

Does he mean TIG?

He's probably using an arc welder.

Stick welding and brazing are the only welding that produces "slag", but I have had a molten piece of filler rod fall on me TIG welding. I was laying on my back and doing a verticle weld and...ploop, right through my jacket...I think I did more damage to my body trying to get it out of my jacket

T&A and beer is important

i can't really do anything late at night anyway.....don't want to **** off the neighbors and have them call the cops. then cops will complain about having 4 T2's and 6 240sx's among other things in our driveway
