MIG stands for metal inert gas, also known as wirefeed welding, and this is where you have a machine that has a spool of wire that is self fed by the machine through a "gun" you hold in your hand. TIG stands for tungsten inert gas, where you hold the rod by hand and feed it...having the benefit of not so much heat on the work.
