Im curious as to why M/S cages are TIG'ed. The test of a weld is that when you try to pull it apart, the material around it fails before the weld. Since a MIG weld has a larger radius than a TIG you end up with a larger surface area and (theoretically) a stronger weld. Is it for looks? A good TIG weld is usually nicer looking, but it is usually easier to get a MIG gun into the cramped areas, and you don't have to deal with trying to operate the pedal with your knee, etc. Keep in mind, I am asking this as an honest question; I know that you are a very competent builder and am not trying to insult you.
