Thread: Micro Tig. Could I do it myself ?

Foot pedals come into their own when welding aluminium. The high heat conductivity means that as the work heats up less heat input is needed. which means weld faster or lower the amps. It's a lot easier to back off the foot pedal.

If buying a foot peddle make sure its a throttle type like the boc ones not just a on /off switch like the one my mate bought .
