Mig welder and Tig torch ? Hey
I was just wondering if there were any mig welders that you could also plug a tig torch into? I'm guessing there is but, they're probably BIG money right?
Anyway, if you know of a welder like that let me know. That would be the ultimate setup.
Thanks

MIG usually uses a constant-voltage supply while
TIG wants constant-current (like stick). I think a
MIG working voltage will be too low and the arc
current too variable to do good TIG handwork.

Hmmmm....If I can't have both I may just settle for a MillerMatic210 with Spoolgun. That looks like a nice rig for relatively cheap.
