In our metal fabrication shop we have multiple arc (Stick) welders as well as MIG (Wire) welders that the students begin on as they develop their skills and technique. While these two different types of welding machines are very versatile in meeting the needs of our students while fabricating steel, none of our machines meet the standard of control to safely or efficiently weld stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron. For this reason I wish to purchase a single TIG Welder for my more advanced students to learn to operate and put another certification in their portfolio.
