Hey folks,
I know this is not exactly a smith question but you always come through for me so I am going to ask....
I am not a welder however I TIG a lot. I want to weld up a bunch of oil pipe for some pasture fencing so I borrowed a engine driven welder to get started . When I went to my local welding shop I told the guy that I was going to try to learn to stick weld and he said I had to change the settings on my auto darkening helmet because stick welding is brighter.
Is that true? If it is by how much? Clearly I am ignorant on anything outside my normal weekly hours spent a the bench TIG'ing little parts together.
Thanks in advance.....
