finally bought a small mig, now i need a bottle. i’m looking for a 20cf bottle ideally, but something slightly larger is ok too. jackson welding wants $115 for a bottle, and ebay wants $80. let me know if you or someone u know has a bottle laying around they want to get rid of. thanks!
call someplace local like mills and order a full bottle ?
you get a full bottle (the one thats like 5’6" tall) for $100 or w/e, and that includes the loaner bottle for as long as u want / need it, and when the bottle needs its 10 year check up, it doesnt have to be done on your dime
the bottle on my welder says MILLS right on the collar of it. :gotme:
and by doing it this way, bottle refills are an exchange deal, takes as long as unloading the empty and loading the full one into your vehical, instead of waiting for YOUR bottle to be refilled
i dont want a huge bottle. needs to be small and portable. i did call a local place, and they did tell me they would rent a bottle, but that its not really worth it. i’ll call a couple more places today and see what their prices are. some places want a big deposit to rent one too
A Q size bottle is fairly portable. That’s what i would get.
Usually they are a lease deal. Go somewhere local and ask. We go through Rogers at work.
what the neck says doesent mean to much, Mills is no lomger they are now Praxair supply.
ok, thats nice, either way my bottle lease still stands, an praxair isnt bothering to put their names on any of the bottles
coulda swore they still called it mills welding suply too …
thanks guys. im gonna give a couple more local places a call tomorrow. i welded today with no gas and it went surprisingly well for flux.
