Up Topic Welding Industry / General Welding Discussion / Looking for SMAW 1" Diameter Electrode
- - By rmdrmd15 (**) Date 08-14-2013 11:15
I am looking for a pieces of 1" diameter electrode.  I have only seen them once or twice in my life and I think this is something that slowly going away.  I do not know which company makes them.  Does anyone have any information on where to look or how to get one?

What amperage does a 1" SMAW electrode run at?

I don't know about 1" but the 20mm/3/4" rod I have says 1000 amps. :eek:

I saw one at my old welding supply. I got to talking about how big a 1/4 jet rod was and they lugged this monster out!

We ran some 1/4" E7018's here before but it was only a 50# can or two of them while they were reformulating the 7/32" E7028's.

These are actually 20mm/3/4". If I remember correctly the shipping was $25.00 to Southeastern CO.

So, does anyone in the northeast area have one laying around that I could have?

these guys do flood welding and only use a 3/4" electrode.  Are you sure it was 1"?

Anyone want to do that overhead?

How much money you got?? at least with it being 36 inches in length I can stay away from the sparks :)

Going to take some arms to hold that for very long.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

I don't think it's holding it, I don't think my eyes could handle that bright of a light.
