IMO,
Foot pedals are really good with sheet metal...
Yes, you can move faster, and everything, but amperage control is nice.

Where did you have the flux capacitors set at? Don't over heat them or it will time warp you.

If you ramp the pedal up to 88 amps, do you get back to 1985?

35 years ago I had my first encounter with MIG. It was a revelation! I remember the price of admission at the time as $3500.00 plus all the many added costs to make the machine work. There was no internet, most of you guys weren't born yet. $3500 + meant a few months pay in that era. Once a machine was bought, there was no one available to teach me to use it. I wanted, but didn't buy for many years. MIG was the holy grail!
A year and a half ago I bit the bullet and bought a TIG. I find excuses to TIG when MIG or even stick would make perfect sense. TIG, like women, is fascinating, frustrating, and sometimes satisfying.
