Hobbyweld 5 or SWG Argon/CO2

[Martin Turner]

Hi, I am looking at a rent free bottle just for light home use to go on my MIG and I have been looking at the Hobbyweld 5 or Southwest Gas Argon/5% CO2. (I have just been given a Draper 1001T MIG)
As the Hobbyweld has 2% oxygen like the BOC Argoshield light would that give me any advantage over the plain Argon/5% CO2?, as far as I can tell you get slightly more heat.

I will be using it for light steel and basic stainless exhaust parts (I know its not the best for stainless but we have tri mix at work if I need it).

Thanks in advance.

Hi , You would not notice any difference between Hobyweld or SGS Gases cylinders , both will work fine. Our cylinders have more gas but that's about it.
