MIG 2 continues to develop welding techniques for all of the basic weld joints
while focusing on filet welds. In addition, you will learn how to cut with a
plasma torch and prep metal to be welded.

schedule


MIG 3

MIG3 focuses on MIG welding with a spool-gun for stainless steel and aluminum.
The class will consist of splitting the time on two machines for each material.

Wire feed welding similar to MIG welding but instead of a shielding gas it uses
flux similar to stick welding. Great process for out door use. Class will focus
on flat and horizontal positions and four of the basic weld joints.
