I often get asked what type of things can be welded using a TIG MIG Welder and whether the use of a PLASMA CUTTER is really that necessary. With thanks to Ted for supplying the pics and video, if you were a teen in the 80’s you will instantly recognise your dream car at that time. If you have the time and patience you can weld and cut anything and manifest your dreams into reality.

The Interceptor is also available for hire, weddings, formals, revenge runs etc, check out https://www.facebook.com/MadMaxExperienceForHire/

You will need a TIG welder if you want to custom weld intricate components in the cabin

An AC DC Tig Welder helps if you are welding under the bonnet, great for ally and steel components

A metalmaster mig welder comes in handy when welding the body panels, look at the phatness

Number plate to suit, what an awesome build

A pic from the original movie, a time long ago before inverter welders were on the market and old clunky transformer welding machines were used. If only they had VRD protection in those days 🙂

Competitive pressure has seen welding gas prices in Australia fall to levels that favour the home welding enthusiast. Speedgas has been growing rapidly and supplies many thousands of customers across NSW, SA, QLD and VIC. Purchasing your welding gas cylinder has never been easier and with the swap and go system you simply return the empty gas bottle for a full swap.

During the exchange process you can select a different gas also as there are no restrictions as to what you swap to. Tokentools Welding Supplies can assist you with transitioning from your current rental cylinder to outright ownership in a few simple steps. We offer Pure Argon Welding Gas for TIG welders, an Argon CO2 Oxygen mix for Mig welding of mild steel known as Argon 5/2 and pure oxygen for Acetylene users.

We believe our prices for welding gas in Australia are very low and are happy to beat a competitors price with suitable documentation.

Current welding gas prices are as follows;

• C Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $195
• C Size Cylinder – Refill – $50
• D Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $339
• D Size Cylinder – Refill – $95
• E Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $490
• E Size Cylinder – Refill – $155
• G Size Cylinder – First Purchase – $550
• G Size Cylinder – Refill – $195

To understand how the cylinders stack up for value we have provided the table below showing how much initial ownership costs per litre of gas and also how much the refill cost is per litre pf welding gas. This table will assist in getting a better understanding of how our welding gas prices compare against the hire bottle arrangement. Remember there are no ongoing fees and charges when you buy your welding gas cylinder outright.

• C Size Cylinder – 600 Litres – First Purchase – 32.5 cents per litre
• C Size Cylinder – 600 Litres – Refill – 8.3 cents per litre
• D Size Cylinder – 1700 Litres – First Purchase – 20 cents per litre
• D Size Cylinder – 1700 Litres – Refill – 5.5 cents per litre
• E Size Cylinder – 4000 Litres – First Purchase – 12 cents per litre
• E Size Cylinder – 4000 Litres – Refill – 4 cents per litre
• G Size Cylinder – 8700 Litres – First Purchase – 6 cents per litre
• G Size Cylinder – 8700 Litres – Refill – 2.2 cents per litre

As evidenced by the above display, the biggest discount is available by purchasing a G Size welding gas cylinder. How does this stack up to the disposable argon cans that you can get at your local hardware store? The 2.2 Litre disposable welding gas bottles contain around 1000 grams of gas charge and at 21 degrees celcius and 1 atmosphere this is around 540 litres of gas. The cost of these is around $70 excluding shipping or $100 with shipping as they are dangerous goods. You also need a special welding gas regulator as they do not take the standard welding gas bottle gas regulator and they are around $70 also. For very infrequent use they are perhaps borderline cheaper but you can deduce with a few refills the cost of disposable cylinders will soon outweigh the outright ownership of your own welding gas bottle.

The burden of paying monthly gas bottle rental has been a thorn in the side of the weekend enthusiast for many years however the landscape is slowly shifting in their favour. What started many years ago in Sydney was the opportunity to purchase outright your very own welding gas cylinder, a small company called Speedgas started offering this amazing opportunity. Now supplier numbers have increased and we are also pleased to offer Speedgas cylinders from our store in Wyong.

Tokentools Welding Supplies offers welding gas cylinders for sale, never pay rent again. The gas cylinders are available in C, D, E, G sizes in pure argon or argon mix 52 which is comprised of 93% argon, 5% CO2 and 2% O2.

Once you purchase your cylinder it is your’s forever. When the gas has depleted simply return the empty cylinder to Tokentools Welding Supplies or any Speedgas distributor for a reasonably priced exchange.

Tokentools can offer shipping Australia wide and retrieval / swaps of empty cylinders is offered also. Due to shipping requirements, a dangerous goods declaration must accompany all cylinders therefore freight rates must be quoted individually. Give our staff a call on 1300 881 991 should you require our assistance in this most exciting and affordable welding gas revolution. Why rent when you can own?

Ok, I admit it, I have this bizzare fascination with welders and can’t stop buying them, amongst other tools also. This is my latest purchase, a Cigweld 250 Amp Remote Wire Feed Welder. As usual the first thing I have to do is pull the damn thing apart and give it a thorough clean. I can’t beleive it was in such a dirty state. It seems it’s previous owners failed to respect it.

If you are going to own any tools then it is best to respect them and this is shown by regular cleaning and maintenance. Now the reason I purchased this unit is that it was a great deal. Secondly I was looking around for a remote wire feed model as I generally weld outdoors and get annoyed dragging the MIG outside. The remote unit is easy to carry and it comes with 10 metres of cabling. More than enough length to go outside and weld some stuff. You can also get all welding supplies for these machines from CIG.

Utterly dispicable. Years of neglect. Many welder failures can be avoided by simply cleaning out the dust.

Would you beleive this is the same machine. A quck blow with the air compressor and then a wipe down with WD-40 and a rag.

This is the other side. This MIG has filter caps to give a smoother DC waveform when welding. If you do not have filter caps then the waveform ends up looking like a series of pulses.

Ahhhhh, that is real eye candy. All the innards look like they are new.

This is a close up shot of the caps and the rectifier. The fan blows a hefty draft and expells rather than suck.

This is a close up of the voltage selection switches and control contactor.

This is the remote wire feeder, gear drive side. It wasn’t all that bad. I gave it a clean anyway.

This is the sealed side of the remote wire feeder. It had some weired dust on the bottom. This thing must have been kept in one heck of a bad environment.

Just like new again. Cleans up easy with a bit of elbow grease.

This is the base unit re-assembled. Unfortunately the outer casing has some scratches and surface rust. I will need to spray it down the track.

Now then, this thing in the picture is the end of the welding cable that feeds the gun. This type of connection is known as a TWECO connection. The TWECO connection requires the manual connection of the gun trigger wires to the remote wire feeder. Euro connection torches have the gun trigger connections built in so there are no extra wires to connect after the gun cable is fitted. The Transmig remote wire feeder has adjustable burn back, spot weld timers, dwell timer and continuous welding mode. The wire speed runs between 1 and 17 metres per minute. The welding power source has 4 coarse and 4 fine voltage settings giving a total of 16 voltage steps.
