^^^^^ WELL SAID ^^^^^ for the most part
You can use TIG to weld thick metals, different type of metals together at that. stainless and non-stainless, or alloy mixes. there is no differnce between the steel used to make cars and "regular steel" With MIG you will get a vastly wider range of thickness you can weld for a basic welder but you cannot weld different types of metals together. You do not want to get into an apprentice program for welding unless you are looking to make a career out of it. You want to go to your local community college and take an intro class into MIG or TIG welding, they will provide you with machines and material to weld with. It all depends on your application... It sounds like you have MIG pretty much dialed as your choice but i have ALWAYS chosen TIG over MIG simply because it leaves such a nicer weld with less mess. If you could lay out exactly what you are looking to do we could give you "better" more precise advise... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
