For heavier walled tube or more structural steelwork, I'm with you Mr.T, stick welding is ideal,and often preferable when really good penetration is required. And using the modern "touch" rods, makes it simple too. But where Mig might be more applicable, use straight CO2, no need of fancy deposit prices, or for that matter refill prices. Once you "aquire" your "Pub" type bottle, refilling is as I have said, a mere £10/12!! simples! Morrag

About the same price i paid give or take a bit
at least once you paid the surcharge that's it, it's just the gas you pay for from then on in

20ltr cylinder surcharge £70 + vat refill £54 + vat so that == £124 00 + vat vat = £ 24 80 so total = £148 80 it seams alot but no more rental,,no more ,,robbin contract,, and you get the ,surcharge back on return of cylinder and the suppliers agent is 10 mins down the road.. |
