    Default mig wire

    I've got 2 rolls of copper and aluminium I got as part of an auction.
    Very heavy, around 10 inch wide?
    I have no idea what they are worth, but you can make a fair offer?

    But I'm in Sydney.....
    Regards

    Thanks for the offer but I think the postage would offset any savings I would make..

    Don't know about in Melbourne, but I find the cheapest places for mig wire tends to be my steel supplier and/or the local BOC agent. The local auto shops and places that don't specialise in steel/welding tend to be quite expensive.

    I've looked at getting it online, but because of weight, the delivered price puts it close to the local price ... and for a few dollars I'd rather support the local guy.
    Cheers.

    Vernon.

    Try your local Supagas agent, they are reasonably priced

    These guys are in Eltham. I use them for all my welding gear and they've got a pretty well stocked shop now too.

    Yep, they have pretty good range too. UniMig up to WIA. Speak to Tristen, tell him Tim sent ya. They can fix you up with everything you need. I don't like going in there, theres just too many things I always want to buy and my wallet hurts.

    Think they are open on a Sat till 12:00

    15kg spools would be cheapest you can pick these up for about $30 from most welding stores. You need gas though.

    smaller spools are more expensive as are gasless spools.
