So I had my frame hardtailed tig, can I have things like pegs, mounts, etc done by mig? A friend of mine has one, would save me time and money.
Do people say use tig then because your less likely to do it improperly?
Yeah kinda.. You can make a decent looking MIG weld that has no penetration at all. A good looking TIG weld is probably a strong weld. If your buddy knows what he's doing with the MIG welder, you have nothing to worry about.
Here is a good web site to learn and undertand the differences between Mig,Tig, and Arc welding
The skill it takes to do good Oxy-Acet welding transfers to the skills needed for TIG. Most anyone can TIG weld in 5 minutes . . but the quality is suspect. So like others have said, its not the type of welding, its who is doing it and how it was done. I enjoy gas welding, but wouldn't use it for sheetmetal. However, I have seen it done on sheetmetal that would just amaze you. So . . its the skill level. I used to teach welding in HS.
