Hello all,
Time to start using the 211 I got off Weldequipe,
Kind of stuck on Gas bottle sizes. I understand the Portamig doesnt work with the tiny disposable bottles from Machinemart etc.
Do you know if the tray at the rear of the machine easily handles a BOC X or Y size Argoshield Light bottle on it? I understand the only differences in the higher capacity Y bottle is its fatter than the X. Do I have to get some kind of strappy thing to hold it in place or has the welder already got the holder on it? - Idiotic Q for you maybe, but an absolutely critical newbie question for me!
I got a regulator from Weldequipe as well, it says something about being for Argon bottles - does this also work with Argoshield light X and Y Bottles?
What the heck is this "cracking off the valve before fitting the regulator" business??!
Can the regulator be taken off the bottle and the bottle stored separately on a daily or weekly basis? I was thinking the entire thing might be a bit bulky in its current storage position - middle of my living room!!!
With much trepidation.....
