I still havent bought the welder yet - will probably do so next week. On the shopping list is:
Unimig Razorweld 200A (I decided to get a 200A since why not and decided against second hand cause I dont know what Im looking for)
https://www.totaltools.com.au/144220...r-kummrw200mig
Cigweld 0.9 wire
https://www.totaltools.com.au/41239-...ig-wire-720090
Speedgas Welding Gas Exchange Argon 5/2 E Size ARER52
https://www.totaltools.com.au/weldin...gon-5-2-e-size
Do I need to buy any fitting/plumbing to get the gas to the welder?
edit: also does anyone get their gas from total tools? Is there a deposit you need to pay? The website doesnt say. Bunnings gas is the same price but there is a deposit. Bunnings is more convenient if the total tools deposit is the same

Not sure if you’re aware, the wire you linked is a 15kg roll, the machine you linked can only take a 5kg roll
And yes, Total Tools charge a deposit, from memory it’s around the same money as Bunnings charge. Pretty much all of the ‘rent free’ cylinders carry a couple of hundred deposit on them.

The advantage of Bunnings is that the deposit is refundable if you decide to return the cylinder and go with an alternative supplier. Not sure if Total Tools do that. That said, around here, Bunnings don’t offer E cylinders, only D.
