Just wondering if anybody has ever ran a few feet of wire off there mig machines to do a small tig job. I ran out of regular tig rod and thought about trying some mig wire, solid wire not the flux core. Was running practice beads on 16guage carbon steel using 1/16rod, and 1/16 tungsten when I ran out of the small dia rod. I switched to 3/32 tungsten and 1/8 rod, no biggie, but I like the small tungsten and rod for thin metal and thought about my mig setting in the corner with a 12lb spool of .035 wire and though Umm, would it work. My first thoughts are it should, but kinda want to see what others think before i head back out to the shop.
