Any D C stick welder can be adapted to TIG welding most metals (not Aluminum). Purchase a torch, regulator/flowmeter and hose, rent a cylinder of gas (preferably Argon) . Connect the TIG lead to the negative - post, your ground cable to the positive + post, set the flow at 15 - 20CFM and you're in business. You will have to scratch start to establish an arc. You will also have to guess where to set the amperage control on the machine. Practice will help with this.

a stick welder needs to replace his electrode regularly and the flux coating is on the outside while a tig machine constantly feeds the wire and the flux is produced by a filler gas
In which industry does TIG welder typically finds employment?

What is the best welder to use for a go kart?
Depends on a lot of things. Slickest work, but most expensive - TIG. Cheapest - arc (stick) welder. Reasonably user friendly and inexpensive - wire-feed arc/ MIG welder.) Most versatile - Oxyacetylene. Oxy will give have the biggest heat affected zone and is the hardest to use (IMO). If your kart is really thin wall tubing you can forget about the stick welder and even the MIG will be quite tricky.
Can you use a mig welder to tig weld?
No Unless you have a newer model welder that is CC & CV, and then they do not do aluminum unless you get into the high end inverter models. Wire welding uses the CV (constant Voltage) and tig is CC (constant current)
Where can someone get technical information about a Miller TIG welder?
People may choose to use Youtube as a guide about a Miller TIG welder. Here video tutorials can come in very handy and give step by step instructions on how to use such a piece of machinery.
