2:00PM-4:30PM:  MIG Welding 101

Mig Welding 101 will walk you through how to set up a mig welder, from choosing the correct settings and adjusting the regulator for the Argon/CO2 gas. You will learn how to mig (metal inert gas) weld with solid wire from tacking your pieces together, creating a consistent weld pattern, and you will come away from class with your own metal box!
