I said the same thing the other day at work while discussing this very topic.... A guy at work was Migging some bollards up and then was grinding them down extensively to make them smooth, I grabbed one and tig'd it quicker and it didn't need any clean up.Otto Nobedder wrote: I can TIG 1/8" rod just as fast as I can MIG .035 wire, get that even ripple, and not worry I've cheated strength for appearance.
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

Steve inspired me to try this MIG like TIG practice. I was not trying to get to aggressive, but wanted to keep this thread going. Specs; MM252, ER70S-6 .035, 18.4V 265 WFS. Enjoy.

John,
I would agree with you if this were a weld to depend on. I will go out on a limb here and say while I do like the MIG like TIG look, I do not like it as common practice for my welding projects. I gave this weld a total of one minute and moved on. I much prefer the smooth and hot weld, as I feel this burns in deeper and is safer. Now this is not meant to offend or start a discussion on which is better, as I don't want to hijack this thread. Stay with the MIG like TIG theme and I will give it another go in the future.

Hey, no offense, just the critic in me.
I like a smooth, flat, washed in weld.... just me I guess.

Well I came home and gave it a quick shot again. Not much different but here it is. I would like to see some of you give this a try. Now that I have started, I won't be satisfied until I can get it to look like ZTfab's.

Lolz, The extreme close up makes it look like Half inch plate. The weld must be tiny. Still buff off the scale though.
