What does the bottom line read as, please?
That would depend on the pressure the fridge unit can deliver to the gas tankHow much cut will I get from the Aldi non compressor model with an air tank made from a 13 kg Calor gas tank ?
I have a 12 v fridge compressor that could run off my solar and fill me one tank of air for occasional use.
Some fridge compressors can achieve 20bar+
I often thought a small one of those running from solar would be a good use of solar without the expense of having a battery bank.
If you had a suitable tank then the more pressure you can stuff into it, the longer the run time you will get.
Or daisy-chain a load of bottles together but then, ideally you would want some sort of staging valves or once you've drained them down the first time, it will take forever to refill which would be annoying if you only wanted to do a little bit more cutting.
For convenience though, a small, cheap 230v compressor would be the easiest to use and would only take a couple of minutes to fill to give you enough to do a small bit of cutting.
You could also have a big bottle that you could charge up in advance if you had a longer cut planned

They're back in the NI stores, still the 40a version but it looks like they have a pilot arc torch now.

Unfortunately the price has increased to £149.99!

Is that with the built in compressor?
There was a thread on here somewhere but I think the one with the compressor was £149.99 but didn't come with the pilot torch.
I'm sure someone in that thread found the pilot torch on its own in a German lidl and had one sent over.
Not sure if they will sell the torches individually over here at any point but you might be able to get one as a spare part now?
I see they have a flux cored mig welder as well,anyone used this welder.
I am reasonably competent with arc welding but have no mig experience,
and have rear sills to repair on my mk4 golf for mot.
Getting somebody to do the repair is practically impossible.
Hi all,
I've got the 40amp Parkside Plasma cutter. I would like to convert to pilot arc but can't get hold of the Parkside pilot conversion kit (PSPP 5 A1) mentioned earlier in this thread. Has anybody successfully made the conversion to a pilot arc using Non-Parkside generic bits?

Yeah there was some woman trying to extort £200plus for one on Faceache a few months ago…..**Language**ing capitalist. I hate these types…some one must be able to get them , I think one guy buys them by the pallet load and bungs them on gumtree at a premium as they are all sold out ,,, [ hes got them ]
How can the guarantee be honoured on a second hand item?
