Well i have a flux core set up right now. Im switching it over to gas. I have been looking at tanks and regulators. How long would a 75cf tank last? What tank should i get for welding mild steel? Also what should i be looking for in a regulator?
Would this work? http://cgi.ebay.com/Hobart-Wel...wItem
Would this tank work with that regulator? http://cgi.ebay.com/A75-75CF-A...wItem

I dont know much when it comes to tanks and regulators as you can see haha.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Well its basically like this. You need to run about 20cft/h of gas flow so a 75 cf tank sould last 3 3/4 hour of steady trigger on welding. I would figure a little less. As far as a regulator goes I prefer one that has a flowmeter versus a preset or a regulator that has a gauge with cuf/h graduations for flow. "C25" (75% argon/25% CO2) is the gas that will work fine for you and is the most common mig gas.

 

Go to a local gas supply place.. They will hook u up.. shipping would kill you !

 

i'll take it you didnt check out the link, lol. Shipping was free.

 

Do i need to get a certain type of tank for different gasses?
