[TheForge] Inverters & MIG Welders

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Aubrey; choosing the right rod for the job, and keeping them 
really dry is half the problem usually.
While they aren't going to be better looking, the tombstone's 
welds are apt to be stronger than those of the MIG, given the 
same level of skill. Those little Migs don't have diddle for 
penetration on heavier material.....pf
