Co2 Mig question.

admin

question: My Dad has a extra Co2/carbon dioxide tank from his kegorator. I was wondering if I could use it for Mig, granted id rather have the argon mix, my local gas suppliers are closed and that's all I have at the moment. Thanks.
Reply:Yes, works good for welding - just need the adapter (cheap) from regulator to co2 tank because it generally has a different fitting than an argon/co2 mix.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Reply:i only use CO2 and never had problems. works best with wire with high deoxidizers .only time 75/25 is better is with sheetmetal as it is lower penetration
Reply:The adapter is CGA580 to CGA320  or you can just remove the tank fitting from the regulator and install a CGA320.  Remember you need a washer for that 320 fittingTiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
