Harris wire?

How does the Harris wire compare to Lincoln or Hobart wire??
Reply:Harris is a sub brand of Lincoln. the Harris Magnum Regulators came with Lincolns welders for a little while and they are connected. If you use a Lincoln mig welder, use the lincoln brand. If you use a hobart/Miller use the hobart wire. Lincoln Electric wire is cheap and can be found almost anywhere. I have actually seen it at a Gas station. However harris is a well structured brand!VictorPraxairAir LiquideMillerLincoln Electric

Reply:I have legacy Harris 308L wire in 25 and 30 lobs spools, made in USA.  Never used, pristine condition.  I'll never use enough SS wire to justify tapping those spools, particularly when I have lots of 2 lbs spools on hand.  I've used a few of their 2 lbs spools as well as their legacy 1 lbs aluminum spools.  Fine stuff, IMHO.Jerry30+ yrs Army Infantry & Field Artillery, 25 yrs agoMiller 350LX Tig Runner TA 210, spool gunLincoln 250/250 IdealArcESAB PCM 500i PlasmaKazoo 30"  vert BSKazoo 9x16 horiz BSClausing 12x24 lathe20T Air Press
