Hi first post though I've lurked quite a bit in the past!
I currently run a SIP 150amp welder and am getting my gas on contract from Air products but am pretty fed up with the cost of the bottle rental each month.
Now I used to run a Gasless Mig in the old days and got on just fine with it till it eventually gave up, now I have this reasonable SIP 150 which I get along fine with.
My question is do I just give up the rental and get small bottles as and when I need them? My welding isn't that often (i've not used a one cylinder in the past four years) so at todays cost the bottles cost me about £576!!!!
Do I use small bottles or do I change back over to the gasless mig? Anyones opinions would be very welcome
Kind regards Pepper.
