MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[BigRAWesty]

Going to mig it. Think I will dump the gasless wire and fit gas wire and small bottle see how I go.

Don't go to small.. e size is a good size..
Those little little bottles will last you a day..

[nissannewby]

Yes much nicer welding with gas. Preparation is key with welding. Save your pennies and buy a pulse mig

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah I have a smallish mig already here. 140amp I think. I have one of those little disposable bottles from Bunning Kallen, I don't expect much out of it but how much do you think I will get?

My mate with the bender has a decent mig, I might have to give him a cuddle when I'm ready and borrow it for a weekend to weld off maybe

[lhurley]

They are only about 1L. And when you weld at 20 odd lpm it doesn't take long.

For the record I have an e bottle that costs me $60 to fill and those bunnings ones cost $40. They are a rip. Get a hire bottle and use it for what you want and send it back.

[mudnut]

Those disposable bottles are only for small jobs. Consider getting adapters and using the larger bottles.

You can buy bottles outright now. So you purchase one then you only pay for refills.

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah I might buy one, just trying to save some cash as I already have a little disposable. I have a fair bit of welding to do so should just bite the bullet. Don't tell the missus.

[mudnut]

There is a link for those buy your own bottles on here somewhere. The cost of transportation has made it uneconomical for me, but you being in the metropolitan area, it should be all good.

[Winnie]

Very nice Daz! Can't wait to see what you do with it

[jay see]

Gotta see the finished product.
Should look killer good.
