I do that. I think I'm running ~30amps, and after tacking everything, I do ~1/4" stitches.



Is 30 amps as low as you machine goes. Some of the better tig power sources can also be used with a spool gun or other stand alone wire feed with trigger. My Lincoln Econo Tig goes down to 12 amps, but can not be used as a power source for a mig gun.
