antonywardle Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Hi don't know if many people on the list use acetylene for welding but I was at Bunnings a couple of weeks back and noticed they are now doing bottle-swaps for acetylene and oxygen. This means that you don't need to rent the bottles anymore. It seems it is a bit like the bbq gas bottles. They come in the D sizes for each I think I figured out that if you are renting then payback is about 18 months so if you want a bottle for an occasional weld then this might be good for you. no affiliation with bunnings or coregas who are the company suppling them http://www.tradegas.com.au/ Edited April 7, 2014 by antonywardle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie007 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 we've been able to buy any size cylinders for a while now i think its speed gas is the one i use i get my Argon thru a local welding company i paid $315 to buy outright a tank and it will filled i cant remember what size i have but came filled with Argon and i have taking it back a few times for a refill they just swap your cylinder with one in same condition, u take in a new one u get one like new u take one in looking like it went to war u get the same back lol refill for argon was about $88 and no rental fee's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
