Re: 7018AC rod problem

Isn't the cleanliness of the metal an important factor with 7018s both ac and dc? With 6010s and 6011s it's not such a big deal but with 7018s and 6013s it is so maybe this could be a reason for sticking?

Re: The Brawny Man's Intro

Thank you gentlemen. Any advice you all can share will be greatly appreciated. Tig was fun from the little time I spent on it and I look forward to learning more about it. Definitely a different world than stick. I've got an old Montgomery ward buzz box I play around with at the house. Ancient but i...
