Hi… I’ve recently come across a mig welder for home use ! Can anyone advise on were to purchase an argon bottle from. I’m seeing the odd BOC bottle popping up on Facebook etc. I’m unsure on the rules, regs and costs of filling them up. Cheers
Don’t buy a BOC bottle, you can’t! They belong to BOC & are only supplied & refilled under contract. Have a look at the freebee’s in the adverts, there is a facebook post on there with comments.
Have a look at SGS, Hobbyweld & Adams Gas, they all do rent free cylinders with a deposit.SGS do a deal on the deposit for forum members, or did. Don’t look at price alone, convenience as well as it always runs out in the middle of a job.
I was using boc's gas on there volks zone deal but recently decided to switch to hobbyweld gases. Although an initial outlay I prefer the fact its not costing me to be sat in the shed.
