6013 vs 7014 vs 7018

Not available online unfortunately... Apart from getting lucky and finding them on the shelf somewhere I'm not sure there is an option other than phoning ArcTec directly.

Sadly, that's a 10# box. Up here they're just under double what 7018 costs.

Very nice I still cant find those for sale online. How big is the box? hope its more then 10lbs.......

I think the last time I bought Esab OK-55 7018 it was around $50 a box

Keep in mind exchange rate and such

That price is REALLY high, but those are the ones. I think exchange rate would make my price around $60usd

WOW would be a understatement, on my end it says $95.00 $8.75 shipping for a 4.5 kg, just under 10lbs and open box, that sometimes is a bad sign. 7018 is under $25.00 5-10 lbs. cant we get somewhere close to that online or do I have to go across the boarder..........

You could always phone ArcTec. Its also $2-3 per KG cheaper if you buy 3 or more boxes

I don't know about you guys but after welding with Lincoln 7018 rods I'm not interested in welding with any other brand. They weld so nice compared to a few others I've tried. And it's been so long that I don't remember the brands any more.

70 rods have to go up. Best way is start with 3/32 then go to 1/8, the bigger the rod the harder it is to weld vertical up, it's almost like making puddle shelfs by weaving back and forth holding the sides/toes, same in mig welding....

Good info man, thx.
