Question:

Does 6010 freeze faster than 6011, or is the main reason it's chosen is because it cuts through rusty and painted surfaces?

Never mind...............I just remembered 6010 won't work with my AC Tombstone welder! DUH!!

Thanks, Alan, that works.

I don't get it, Oscar. Your link takes me to a welding jacket. Only thing I can figure is it mentions the jacket has a hood. Is that what you've modified to attach to the helmet with Velcro?

Yes, Tweake, I meant 1/16". I have no need for those at this point.

TraditionalToolWorks, I have an almost brand new 25 year old Lincoln Tombstone. I don't know much about stingers, but I assume the one on this welder is fine.

Yup, I'm aware of that. I'm new to this, but have been running a lot of rod practicing. I've got a lot of 6013 in 3/32" and 1/8", but am wanting to try some 6011 and 7014 in 3/32". Was just a little surprised to hear of the 1/6". Don't think I'd need that for now.

That's where I found it............hence my correction. I'd just never seen it anywhere before.

jtap,

Could be wrong, but I believe the smallest 6011 electrode is 3/32".

Edit: Yup, I was wrong. 6011 is available in 1/16"..................though I've never seen any anywhere.

No problem locating the leak. As I said, it's leaking from the Regulators relief valve. It's not a problem of the tank. I found a Youtube video explaining the same problem (and the solution) I'm having and ordered a repair kit for $20. Even though I've not used it much, the Oxy/Acetylene rig is 25 y...

Was hoping someone might have experience with this problem and could tell me how to correct it..................without going to a repair shop.

I've got an Oxy/Acetylene rig. All of my stuff is Victor brand. I recently had my Oxy tank filled. Used it the other day with the rose bud tip to heat some steel. And now it's almost empty! :o When I open the master valve to the tank, I get a popping noise from the relief valve. Then when that stops...

I'm a total newbie to the forum and have only owned a welder for about 3 months. It's an old Lincoln Tombstone AC. Original owner bought it, used it for a weekend to build a small utility trailer and put it in storage, where it sat for almost 25 years. I've been practicing like crazy, reading as muc...
