Ok, I'm at home and the adventure begins. Just sorting out all my welding stuff. I purchased MIG150TE from machine mart(I love VAT free days ) and now Annabelle needs a good seeing to (my mini).
My dad is unfortunalty running what appears to be a 56K modem being charged at some ridiculous amount per minute so I can't search online for long which is why I may be asking questions that I could have easily searched for so I apologise now.
Anyway, it says I need a 20amp plug, but for mini panels I figure it won't draw enough power to blow a 13amp plug so will I be ok there?
I am going to get some gas from BOC I think, so if I get the cylinder back to them in 4 months will I only have to pay 4 months rental?
As for what size bottle, can anyone suggest which one. I need to do about 20metre of welding(i figure) plus practicing(cos I can't weld). Will I need another regulator from the one that came with the disposable bottle? If so, which one?
Finally, just to double check, for the steel/rust on a mini, will argoshield be my gas of choice?
Thankyou one and all for all contributions as it is much appreciated. I'll probably be posting some pics up here(from a friends computer) for you to admonish(dunno what it means but I like big words) me on my welds and give me hints.
Thanks again,
Dave
