I have a tecarc universal/euro spool gun for the mig, it's stopped working (again) so considering ac tig or pulsed mig
The spool gun hardly gets used tbh....but there's times I want to make things from 1.5/2mm alu sheet...the spool gun is pretty much impossible for me unless just doing lots of little tack/spot? welds
like this wheel arch managed to stick together with the spool gun

from what I've read pulsed mig would be faster and reduce heat input compared to an ac tig....although I've seen comments like 'tig is better for some jobs'...what would be an example?
basically, apart from the cost what advantages are there to AC TIG vs pulsed mig?
