I have welded with MIG, but have never used stick or TIG. I am wondering what would be the best rods, generally speaking, to use and learn with. I want to buy a few different kinds to try out but I am looking for a good starting point. I was not looking for the 140ST, I wanted another MIG. But I witnessed one in action and figured it would be good to have and learn a new skill.
Thanks
My suggestion would be to learn with 1/8 7018 rod and some 6010 as well.
Usually people start off with 6013
I have a 5lb box of Hobart 1/8 E7014 that someone gave me. Are these of any use? I am sure they have been around awhile could they too old to use?
Unit is not made for 6010 use.Quote:

As you see from all the emails from me and Mark's public post, I think you'll have a good combo.Quote:
