  1. Default Power I-MIG questions

    1) Which models have a metal wire feed assy?

    2) Is there any documentation for the control port?
    (not listed in the manuals)

    3) I have a TIG setup with a Euro connector.
    Do I have a way to enable use the internal gas valve in CV mode?
    (doing mild steel, 75/25 works for either, change bottles for aluminum MIG or SS)

    4) Do they support voltage/wire speed remote control speed/voltage capability in CV mode and remote current in CC mode?
    I have wire speed on my spoolgun (Binzel connector) and will not return to hiking back and forth from position to tweak wire speed or just adapting to it.

    Same for TIG, current control (pedal or finger) and a gas valve for pre/post flow is not something to live without.
    (Although as you mentioned in another thread, most schools teach how to make ~OK welds with the low end TIG setups
    ... with preset current and technique, but I'm not going back to school to learn how to make poor looking welds I can do that already ;-)

    I consider any MIG+TIG unit that does not have automatic gas and remote current/voltage/speed control to be not an option.
    (moreso than even having to use scratch start, as gas is far from free)

    ...Otherwise I'd have an MTS200 or TA 181i already.

    The 181i ALMOST works, the gas valve in TIG mode is like yours... external manual.
    Not for serious use unless you love buying gas.
    The MTS160/200 are non options sadly due to lack of remote and the TIG mode gas valve sillyness.
    (Euro connector is not just for MIG...).

    The iMIGs would be suitable if they have remote voltage/speed control in CV and current in CC, and have the ability to enable the gas valve in CC mode.

    Thank you.
