Hi,
I am looking to get another Oxy/Acet set, but am rather despondent about the prices for hire charges (I wished I had kept my bottles from years ago!) that make the DIY infrequent users like me, expensive.
I am wanting to do some light work with a gas welder, and primarily want to weld light tubular thin wall steel, and maybe I will have a go at some 16g aluminium sheet as well.
I was looking to get a small American Meco Midget Torch (as I can get stuff from the States easily).
My question is, do the small disposable gas bottles last a practical time for such a torch? Obviously it all depends on what you are welding, but for the occasional small stuff, expensive bottles sitting around doing b... all isnt exactly a practical option.
