A workshop essential

[VTCruiser]

as a birthday present to myself I bought some tanks for my torch today. I bought a medium duty victor last fall and was debating renting tanks, but decided to save some money in the long run and just buy them. for under $300 i got one filled oxy-90, one filled acetylene-60, an adapter and a pair of heavy welding gloves. I even got to try it out today (see my build thread...).

Gehn get some backflow valves for it. Good cheap insurance.

I forgot to mention I bought them from Machine and Welding Supply Co. on old easley hwy. I'd recommend them. It's a well stocked shop with good, knowledgeable people. I called around to a bunch of places and they seemed to have the best prices too, at least for tank fills.

that'd probably be a good idea, you can never be too safe with these.

yeah man, looks great. fab up a little cart or something for them, too.

it'll keep em from fallin over or gettin bumped. that way you won't knock the regulators off and turn the garage into a mythbusters set, ha ha

Yeah definitely chain them to a cart.
One fell over at the Clemson Physical Plant shop and blew the regulator through the roof. It landed on the football field.
