Rods to have on hand... which ones?

[KSmith]

I couldn't help but look at harbor freight for those rod storage containers. Seems pretty cheap at $4.99. Maybe not built as stout, but has a gasket. I've never used them, but if I can get in the store I will check them out. http://www.harborfreight.com/welding...per-46477.html

This has been asked many times before.

6010 is not really a rod you will use a lot and the unit will do it if you can do it. More of a you thing...

6011, 6013 and 7018 are probably all you need. On SS 308 (I use 316) but it all works well.. Then get the diameter based on the metal thickness.
