Authentic Binzel MB Grip Mig Torch

Authentic Binzel MB Grip Mig Torch


Binzel has pioneered in many sectors of the welding market and one of the most impactful has been in the MIG torch arena. After sampling many Binzel knock offs usually marketed as “Binzel Style” I must say that longevity and reliability is found in originally branded gear. We have been supplying Binzel torches with our Mig welding machines for over a decade and I am proud to admit the failures are rare compared to the cheaper alternatives. Yes there is a price hit however given the cost to the average tradie when not welding due to down time, how much is it worth to be a penny pincher? As they say, a tight A!*e pays twice 🙂


 


You can see our range of Binzel Grip Mig Torches here. Currently we are stocking 4 metre and 5 metre MB24 KD, MB25AK and MB36KD. The part numbers and links to the products are as follows.

Call our staff on 1300 881 991 or order via the online welding store at a time that suits you. All torches are shipped in Binzel boxes with contact tip spanner, one spare contact tip and an instruction manual. The Binzel series MB grip torch is fitted with a Euro connector.

Tig Torch Stand Holder - Magnetic Tig Rest

Tig Torch Stand Holder - Magnetic Tig Rest

Perhaps the most notable issue faced by a TIG welding operator is where to put the torch when not welding. Often it is draped across the welding machine or just left on the bench which leads to breakages of critical Tig torch components. An ideal solution is to use a Magnetic Tig Torch Stand to mount the torch when not in use. The magnetic tig holders can accommodate left or right handed operation and affix easily to any surface capable of magnetic adhesion. The magnetic tig holders include a bolt mount for welding job clamp so that you may run the current via the base. Although a novel concept it is best to use a specialised magnetic job clamp for such as found in our Magnetic Job Clamp Section.


The tig torch rest can be purchased here for $29 or added as an option to any Tig welding Machine or Tig welding torch for $22.

Back Purging Regulator - Dual Flow Meter

Back Purging Regulator - Dual Flow Meter

Back Purging Argon Regulator

Back Purging Argon Regulator


Introducing the Metalmaster back purging tig welding shielding gas regulator with dual bubble flow meters designed to meet the needs of industry where purging is required during the welding process. The AR-101AP is the ideal welding regulator to use for back purging your welds as it features 2 x bubble flow meters mounted back to back. A Y piece allows either flow meter to be turned off so that purging can be deactivated easily. The regulator has 2 x  bobbin style flow meters to enable accurate dispensding of shielding gas from 1 litre per minute up to 25 litres per minute. The bubble flow meters argon shielding gas and this style of regulator has become the mainstay for tig welding applications worldwide.

Mine Compliant Braided Extension Leads For Welding Plasma Machines

Mine Compliant Braided Extension Leads For Welding Plasma Machines

Mine sites and Work sites for that matter contain hazards that may be mitigated by the use of specialised equipment. When it comes to extension leads, The Powersafe Earth Screened Extension Lead could save your Life!


All Extension Leads are fitted with IP66 plug and socket for use outdoors and on mine sites Australia wide. Leads are available with 1.5mm^2 copper conductors or 2.5mm^2 for increased amperage on larger welding equipment. Equally the IP66 plugs and sockets are available in 10 amp or 15 amp 3 pin single phase configuration.


What are Braided Leads?


Mine Compliant Braided Extension Leads

   Mine Compliant Braided Extension Leads


A braided lead or armoured cable is internally the same as a normal

extension lead however the addition  of a tinned copper braid around the

diameter of the cable that is then covered by

another UV stabilised PVC outer sheath.

The tinned copper braid is then connected to the

earth pin at the plug and socket end so if the lead

is damaged then there is more potential for the

electricity to flow to the earth path tripping the

RCD, or earth safety protection device, preventing

electrocution to personnel and protecting

equipment. These mine spec extension leads are ideal

to suit our range of mine compliant welders in Australia

Due to the inherent nature of its construction the

braided lead is far more durable and tough than a

standard extension lead and with IP66 plug and

socket it can be used in wet and dry conditions.


Features

-1.5mm² cable for 10amp & 2.5mm² cable for 15amp

Welding Projects Mad Max Interceptor

Welding Projects Mad Max Interceptor

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.

Welding Gas Prices Australia | Oxygen | Argon

Welding Gas Prices Australia | Oxygen | Argon

Oxygen Welding Gas Buy & Not Rent

Oxygen Welding Gas Buy & Not Rent


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.
