Allen,
My opinion is that the TIG is much more controllable and more consistent
than MIG wspecially at the start of the weld. I would never use MIG on a
roll cage, for instance. One thing about square (or any shape)
tubing.......be very careful about the quality of the tubing. A lot of
square and rectangular tubing is for decorative purposes......not of the
structural quality that we need for chassis work. The weld joint in the
tubing has potential for disaster.
Joe: is there seamless square tubing?
