tthe way i understand it is in order for it to work it heats the metal and it cuts it with the plasma produced from that or something like that

Welding 101
It all depends on how much experience you have. Mig is probably the easiest to learn if you just want to "stick" metal together. Not really to worried about "full Penetration"(yes I said Penetration). Not saying you can't get it with mig because you can..... Bla bla. I'm getting off topic!! A.D.D. lol
M.I.G = Metal inert Gas. The short and skinny is you have a whip and wire comes straight out the middle of it with a shielding gas around it to help protect the weld that you are producing. I'm guessing that you would be welding steel. Thats a whole lot easier to start with.
Anybody can mig weld..... only some can do it right.
I'm sure other people will chime in with more info.
Just a quick note i've been welding for about 7-8 years all aspectsof welding. Mig, Tig, Stick, and flux core and also all positions flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead. I'm on my advanced welding right now Armor Plate. Now thats a whole new can worms!! LOL
Hope this helps a little
Forgot to mention Plasma cutters. like someone said the plasma burns your fingers....... it's the high pressure air that blows away the charred skin and bones!!!LOLOL

3 things:
1) here's some excellent resources, not that I'm a huge Miller fanboy: http://www.millerwelds.com/resources...g-your-skills/
2) MIG (GMAW) is the easiest
3) Plasma cuts via errosion. The torch works by super heating / ionizing air into a plasma stream and superheating the material under the tip and literally blows the material away. Catch, the material has to carry current. It'll cut aluminum and stainless which normal flame cutting won't.
