My biggest one is the Cormet F40 that weighs about 8 lb is overall about an inch in diameter and is nearly four feet long lol. Someday when I get a place to store it that isn't in the Soggy garage I'll take it out of its protective tube and hang it on the wall.

To me the E6020 is a rare gem of a welding rod. They are no longer manufactured and are virtually impossible to find. But I digress.

Bruh... I collect welding rods. It literally doesn't matter. I'm out to find, test, collect and document them. All position or not. It's a hobby of mine.

Ok, this is like, really belated. But it's more or less a follow up to an old post I did about the E6020. In that time I actually managed to get my hands on a box of these extinct welding rods. Albeit that was several months ago. Nabbed a box that popped up on Ebay. https://youtu.be/Jh8JBA381ns 2022...

I don't see myself as a comparison to weld.com or anything.

I weld because its what I love to do. I acknowledge I am a rookie and have much to learn. I'm just kinda sharing what I'm doing as I go. As for indoor welding I have a ventilation fan to remove smoke. Thanks for the heads up tho.

I need this part (or perhaps the capacitor thing on it) or equivalent part that would work with our old Multiquip ACX-170S welder. Im assuming its an AVR. I've scoured the internet but can't find the part anywhere. The welder came from where dad works and it was something like, the generator would r...

I guess this is as good as a place as any share this. I recently started a Youtube channel where i do overviews on welding rods and stuff. The camera work could be better and I'm a rookie, but it's a start.

Its more so a thing of, I just want to find and try some regardless of their relevance. Im kinda a stick welding nut and like to try a bit of everything.

I'm a beginning welder, and hope to get a welding job here soon. On the side I collect rods and try them because why not. I have been scouring the internet for months trying to find any legit 6020 rods in the USA that I can buy. They seem to have gone out of production. Do I NEED them? No. But I sur...
