Foot or fingertip control is WAY MONDO importanto for ANY tig
welding. You can get by without one..but you wont like it
And least of all with aluminum, with its very wierd solid/liquidous
range. You have to feather your way into it..else you will wind up
with the base metal all over your workbench

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
