TIG welding is in 2 "Start" flavours.That's what I thought, and as you don't have to strike the weld like you do in both other types I might get on with it better, although once struck I do fine with arc and I have no problems getting the slag off.
Or am i wrong about striking the weld arc fing?
One is "scratch/lift" start (so you touch down and lift-off to start the arc.
The other is High Frequency start (like a little lightning storm) that sparks up all on its own across the gap as you press the button/pedal.
