how much are their tanks? i want oneeeeeee and national wants like 300 for that shit

I didn't get in touch with them before they closed today. I'm going to call them in the morning and find out.

From what I can tell, National has their HP160 tanks on sale for 180 dolla. Then of course the fill is around 70 or 80 dolla fer the gas. So it's a little cheaper than 300, but after tax it ain't THAT much cheaper.

ugh, i shoulda bought that shit when welder's supply still existed. 150 cf tank filled for 100 bux. fuck.

Machine & Welding is about the same prices as National...

i got my tank from them (half size, don't remember the gallons, not the 5 foot tall one), and it was ~100. not nearly worth the money to me to get the big one.

Like a 75 or a 90 CF tank...

Here's a catch: At a 100% duty cycle a lot of MIGs require around 20CFH (20 cubic feet per hour)...and the small tanks would likely last all of 4 continuous hours tops.

I'm actually looking at the possibility of having to do some production work in the next week or so, and it's highly likely I would exhaust that in the course of 12 to 16 hours. I'll prolly just man up and go ahead and get a 160CF tank.
