Re: opinions?
I have a small unit that looks something like that and it works, but...
On mine an O2 tank only lasts 10 minutes. The O2 tanks are expensive.

Ah, that's what I was wondering. 10 min is too short given I'll want to practice
also. The mig might be my best bet first, but since I might also want to be able to
bend metal, gas will be necessary eventually.

Ah.. 10 min is too short. I'd blow through that just praticing.
Lease for the short run seems the best option. Or a size bigger
bottle.
