...are these just specialty rods for special jobs? Can they be used on any material?I ask because there is a CL ad from a guy who has a bunch to sell. $40 for 10lbs. Just wondering if I should pick some up to have around.
Reply:Do you have some stainless steel to weld?There are several different grades of stainless steel filler rods you can get. Stainless rods are more expensive to buy compared to carbon steel rods.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720

Reply:Depends on the type of rods. Each stainless steel alloy uses a specific type of rod to weld."The reason we are here is that we are not all there"SA 200Idealarc TM 300 300MM 200MM 25130a SpoolgunPrecision Tig 375Invertec V350 ProSC-32 CS 12 Wire FeederOxweld/Purox O/AArcAirHypertherm Powermax 85LN25
Reply:Are these stick electrodes like 308L?I have some in 3/32 I got for free. They work on stainless or carbon steel. Makes a nice looking bead and the slag pops off as it cools. They weld pretty good on my little 80amp inverter.That's a good price if you want to weld stainless. There are better and cheaper choices for general purpose use.Lincoln SA200, HH135, Lencospot, HF80 Inverter, Rockwell 11x35 lathe, HF drill mill, Kama 554 tractor w/ FEL & BH, Belarus 250AS, lot's of Chinese tools

Reply:$40 for 10 lbs is a good price, if they are something you can use. 308L is the most useful stainless filler alloy for most things you'll find to weld in stainless. Be sure they are an all-position rod, not a flat-only rod.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
