Added spool gun, do I need a new regulator?

[LeeG]

I bought a Miller 211 this past summer and got a tank of 25/75 CO2/Argon. I have the stock regulator on this tank.

I just recently got my spool gun all set up for welding Aluminum. I will be getting another tank with 100% argon for this one. Will the regulator I have work fine with the other tank? Even if it will work, will I be better off having a dedicated regulator for each tank? If so, what is a good solid unit to purchase?

I obviously don't weld for a living, but I like having good, quality tools. I don't currently weld all that much, but I am expecting to be lighting it up on a weekly basis. Cost is a factor, but not the overriding one.

Thanks for any input.

It will work just fine.

Yes. But I added seperate regulator & line for the argon. Just easier to swap gas line at machine than swapping reg on bottles.
