Re: Advanced tools in the workshop (Mill, Lathe, Welder etc.)
TIG welding is practical on site, we do our TIG welding in the
school shop. It is essential to have a experienced TIG welding
mentor available, but TIG welding of aluminum can be picked
up by students with close guidance from a mentor. The smallest
welder would be a 250 amp unit, the smaller 175 amp units
are stretched a little too much for some situations involving 1/8
aluminum and can't deal with anything thicker.
