oh you can weld thick stuff with a tig .i welded some motor mounts for a very big electrical motor s they need to look nice it was 3/4 cold roll steel tig welded it no big deal.yep i here you. i said the same thing about migs i have had over the years .but till you own a tig and use it you will not love your mig so much .with the tig you get a big ac/dc stick welder and i have welded wear steel with my tig in stick mode burning 1/4 arc welding wear steel rod on 4 inch thick die for them big patio paver bricks. i mig for some time and drag some rods to .for very thick steel dirty steel i feel alot better welding with arc rod over mig or it would have to be a very big mig with better then 035 wire and if clean steel tig over it all and less clean up after the job is done
