I’ll write that down, thanks!

 

Different rods for different applications.

6010 will be your root weld for a lot of things whether it's on pipe, I beam or what have you.

If you do stainless steel, you'll only ever use 308/L. You learn 70xx rod, you'll easily run 308/L. You'll never realistically run verticals on stainless, but it's fun to learn as it helps you learn vertical with other rods on ferrous steel.

308/L vertical up on stainless



Same rod, same metal, but flat



And 6011 on mild steel

 

Someone find me an Impreza Coupe for cheap.

 

You know I've always lusted for one of those right

 

All is correct but the 70xx part... The first 2 numbers in an electrodes designation is the tensile strength 7018 is 10k psi stronger than 6010

 

Had an issue crop up on our last outing where, several times, after a couple of miles of enthusiastic wheeling we would find that my tailgate had popped open and was laying against the rear bumper swingouts getting beat to shit plus a metric shiton of dust had entered into the campershell area and coated everything. So...I need to come up with a simple, elegant solution for a latch(es) on the inside of the tailgate to stop that from happening. Any ideas or suggestions from the hive mind would be much appreciated. TIA

 

Maybe your latch is just worn out or need adjustment.

 

Is your bed bent out of shape?

 

Who needs a tailgate anyway

 

I feel like NV Dot is laying on the ice melt thick this season.

 

Yeah just cage the back and LT it

 

Ha. My photos are clogged up with memes. All the real info goes on Dropbox under hobbies/welding

 

Very pretty indeed!


Another Craigslist search added to the mix now

I do understand tensile strengths, but 70xx rods don't penetrate as much which is why 6010 would normally be run as your root weld.

 

You should buy your girlfriend a nice welding hood, she'd appreciate it a lot especially for school.

 

Yeah I’m thinking about it once I learn a bit more about what she prefers

 

i base performance off drip

 

@Empty_Lord are 01-04 Tacoma steering wheels the same as 99-03 4runners? They look pretty close. Just curious if my airbag fits in Tacoma wheel I want to get.
