QUOTE(jimkelly @ Oct 2 2012, 07:28 AM)  i assume a 40 cf may be considered minimum decent size? jim Jim I forget the volumes of the tanks, but I have been a little more satisfied with our larger 80? here at work as it is considered the commercial size. I've used it at home for long 914 projects and it supplied me well without running out. It is abit more to handle and move about the shop because of it's size. I also use the next size smaller 60? bottle for my Tig and it seems to need more frequent refills than I like for convience, but the bottle is much easier to handle. I own the smaller bottle and I think it cost me $200 purchased. |
