Does it use regular shielding gas?

Yes. 100% nitrogen for steel and stainless, 100% argon for aluminum.

Is it really that easy to learn?

Yes. Beginners can lay good welds after 1–2 hours of training and reach proficiency in 1–2 weeks. On-site training from our team is available, priced by location.
