true, but we're talking about welding... ... and tig is better than brazing in my opinion...

Saw one of these on Amazon and thought about buying it. Thanks for the demo! Looks like it does the job.

@steveo928 and they also take literally 20x longer to weld a joint.

@steveo928 thats a nice helmet

you didnt do bad but from what i can tell your a little to close you dont want the spater to get in the tip and cause arcing inside the tip just saying nice though

@partyboy93 as far as i knew, we were talking about bike frames. i agree, tig is definitely a stronger bond. on bicycle frames, though, there is a huge chence of warping from too much heat. brazing alone creates a bond stronger than the actual tubing and it's more conducive keeping the frame true. if a properly constructed bicycle frame were to encounter enough force to compromise the joint, the tubing would most likely shear first. for a motorcycle frame, tig all the way :)

Good job Stevo!!!!! Did you use a gas canister with it too?

@partyboy93 most custom bicycle frames are basically soldered together. haha. just brazed with a torch.

Nice welding job man.I plan on picking one of these up soon.Do you or anybody else think this would be a good welder to start off with to build bike frames?

@illchilla09 bike frames as in bicycles or motorcycles?
for bicycles yes it will do okay but if you are going to be building a lot of them, then get an oxy-fuel torch!! harbor freight also has those so check 'em out
they are more useful and can perform more tasks than a small MIG
