ok guys...
here in NZ,, we have to pay for shielding gas for our welders. fair enough ..
but we also cop a bottle rental charged monthly..
one supplier charges about $18 (nzd) per month for a smaller size ..
personally I prefer an argon co2 mix for mig work.. but ok using CO2 on its own..
recently I picked up an old CO2 fire extinguisher.. had it tested filled and the correct valve for a mig regulator, for $150 .. ready to go ...
for less than 10 months rent . I got a cylinder I only pay get filled ( $35 a fill )
great saving .. better spend on coupe parts
not sure how that's works in the US ??
