TIG welding gives you a lot of fine control. You can use the arc, without filler rod as needed to blend, fill etc. I only tried MIG a few times, and it seemed a lot cruder because the wire generates the arc, giving you fewer options. Quite likely there are better MIG systems and skills than my very limited experience.

Can you use MIG on aluminum ?? I only TIG welded AL.
