Well stated indeed Mr. Gomez.

Also, the tig and mig process share the same filler metals.
ER70S-x is put on spools or cut to 36" length.

This next bit is slightly off topic, but...
The problem with mig is that people don't know, or choose to ignore, the fact that the metal *HAS* to be clean to get proper fusion. These are usually the people who I hear complain about mig making bad welds.
