Hey Guys,
Can you give me some advice regarding argon & co2 gas bottles?
It is for TIG and MIG, and sizes I'm thinking about atm are either D or E sizes.
I think size C is too small and may run out quickly depending on the hobby activity.
I am not sure whether the renting bottles is a viable option for a hobby welder like myself(unless I can get a good deal on rent).
Typical rent is about $30 a month afaik, so can get expensive when I have a full bottle and don't get it used up much and go for a year or two or more.
What/where should I go for the best deal? Any advice would be great.
I'm ok with travelling a bit far to get a good deal.
I'm in Melbourne Outer East.
I'm ok with renting if the deal is not a rip off.
Thanx in advance for any advice, tips etc.
P.S. Is there a way that i can get away with a single bottle for both MIG and TIG?
I mean is it possible to use argon on MIG? Or does it has to be CO2/argon mix?
For MIG, I'm looking at mild steel welding at this stage. Nothing else.
