Do you have something specific in mind at the moment?
* I don't have any definite projects planned, just want to learn.... ?
** Just in case it's useful in the future
*** [[Tools/mig/induction#level1|MIG Induction - Level 1]]
** Because I want to be a good welder
*** [[Tools/TIG/induction#mma|TIG induction (MMA Mode)]], then [[Tools/TIG/induction#level1|TIG induction (TIG mode - level 1)]]
* I've got a project I need to do - What do you need to weld for the project?
** Mild Steel - How thick?
*** <1mm
**** [[Tools/TIG/induction#level1|TIG induction (TIG mode - level 1)]]
*** 1-5mm
**** [[Tools/mig/induction#level1|MIG Induction - Level 1]]
*** >5mm or the welding has to be outdoors
**** [[Tools/TIG/induction#mma|TIG induction (MMA mode)]]
** Aluminium - How thick?
*** <3mm
**** [[Tools/TIG/induction#level2|TIG induction (TIG mode - level 2)]]
*** >3mm
**** [[Tools/TIG/induction#level2|TIG induction (TIG mode - Level 2)]] if it needs to be neat or [[Tools/mig/induction#level2|MIG Induction - Level 2]] if it doesn't

How to choose which welding induction you need

The welding techniques increase in difficulty

Welding Type Difficulty Notes
MIG Induction - Level 1 Low Induction is written and ready to go
MIG Induction - Level 2 Medium-Low Induction not ready yet, but willing to give pointers to people who've done level 1
TIG induction (MMA mode) Medium Induction not written but I've got a fairly clear idea in mind, willing to give this one
TIG Induction (TIG mode - Level 1) Medium-High Induction is written and ready to go
TIG Induction (TIG mode - Level 2) High Induction not quite ready, but willing to help with specific issues for people who've done level 1
