Oh yeah baby!!! I'll probably be buggin you for info on this stuff as I get time to play with it. My new job is salary, so my boss works the crap out of me. But it's a REALLY good salary, I think!


$270 is what it cost me in fuel to go and get my sticky fingers on this pile from t-bone!!!

I never tried it, but I know about the ESAB 7100 Ultra, but I am not familiar with the others, especially the SS wire. So if anyone has any info on it they would like to share, (before I research it), please do, including value/cost, what used on/for, material thickness for diameters, etc.

Is that SS flux core or hardwire?

Man oh man, is that stuff hot to the touch? What a deal!

[Coupebuilder]

I am sure I probably speak for many others when I say "You Suck".

Hell you have better than 500 bucks in wire there from the looks of it. Nice score..can you say "jealous"?

[dubl_t]

Damb Stick, That IS a score!!!

This is immediatley what I thought when I seen your bundle, from my fav movie, A River Runs Through it:
Rev. Maclean: [walking away from the river] The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

Way to go dude.

[weldermike]

I'm with COUPE, you bite the big one! Good score!

ESAB is solid, Sandvik is cored.

Not hot, a boiler maker is packing up and moving out where there is more work. He didn't have room for all of this.

Grazie!!!

I hope I can use that wire, or I'll have to sell it to make this deal cheaper!!! I never used SS wire, so I'm hoping for some input on that. I have a bunch of heavy guage scrap SS, as seen in my thread on scrapping photo processing equipment. But, I would think .045 is too large for that.

He11 of a bleepin' score, as others have mentioned...

The Sandvik wire is all-position gas-shielded flux-core, I think it's for 75/25 but not sure, no Sandvik data handy.

The 309L is most commonly used for joining mild steel to stainless, also good for dis-similar stainless alloys, e.g. joining 308 to 316. The.045 is mostly used in spray transfer on heavier stock, not as useful as .035 but for the price, who'd complain.

Check the condition of the cored wires before you use them for anything serious, they'll run rough and give you porosity problems if they've been exposed to moisture.

OK, now go and enjoy your ill-gotten gains!

Some of that stainless wire 33lb can run over $300 a spool
Nice haul buddy older LN 25's are pretty durable. Keep on running. I know because thats was all we used for ship building until this year now we have the mini ones for tanks and double bottoms. They get dropped dragged kicked left out in the raing and anything else you can think of.

Dangit! My stuff is slippin' away!

A plague be upon you, Sticky-Fingers-Man!

Cops are on the way Sticky. Stock up on donuts, they should be there shortly.

And some think I fall into some deals.

Thanks for the info, I will look back on it if I ever get a chance to use it. All four wires are wrapped in original plastic inside the box. One bag, I think the esab solid SS had a few small puncture holes but it looked good. I will prolly try to sell the SS FC, cause I doubt I will ever need or use it. And the boxes did not feel like they ever got moist, you know how that feeling is.

I know the LN 25's are raved about, so I'm happy I get to try it out. Which mini ones do you use? The LN 15's or the new Activ 8's? And since when did you change your sig? Does 11018 smell better than 6010?

As my long time hero, Macho Man Randy Savage would say, OOOHHH YEEEAAAHHHH!!!

Great find

Haha Stick man! Well its one of those things that Navy welders know. 6010 is NOT allowed on Navy ships. Even saying let me go grab some 6010 in front of the wrong guy can seriously get you sent home.

Long story short on top of a day long training and quizzes for the NAVY. They keep QC guys on the vessels as you work. If you cannot quote the Navy process and level your are welding under, dont have your temp sticks, and or tell them the max jewels allowed for the process your welding under you will not be allowed back on the ship.
Same thing with arc stikes undercut and grind marks.
No arc strikes allowed!
Undercut cannot be more than 3/64th's inch - Less than a sheet of paper.
No grind marks on the plate or it may have to be taken out and re-done.
Also if they x-ray or uT a weld there is only is the tinyest amount of flaws allowed.

They figure if you can't comply your not good enough to work on one of thier ships.
Navy subs are the most stringent. i don't work on those.

So to remind myself of that I took the 6010 down and replaced it with 11018. It's required for specific plates on Navy ships.
It's somewhat similar to 7018 but its very unique. i love welding it.

[galencwi]

Oh i forgot the Active 8.

Honestly I will always love the smell 6010.

[Stick-man]

So what's the feedback on the Activ8? It look really nice. Is it worthy to call a "mini LN-25"?

[galencwi]

Def a mini LN 25! If your into lincoln and have to have lincoln I'd personally only run active 8's. Reason being can't remember the last time I ran thru a 33 lb spool in a day. The active 8's have 15 lb spools. weighs maybe 25lbs w everything.
To me it makes so much more sense carry an active 8's and have a backup spool close by. Than LUG almost 60 lbs of LN 25 with a heavy duty whip. Not including any leads attached.

I can't count the number of times I've seen guys find other stuff to do, than be productive cause they dont want to lug that heavy *** LN 25 around a ship or tank that they are working on towards the end of the day.

[Stick-man]

Cool!, thanks for the info. I am really liking the compact 8 size, but I also like the digital readout on the 8VS. BTW, those pics of 11018 look awesome!

[killdozerd11]

Good Score by the way **%*(%&&&*

Now my jealousy aside

Why is it that people think you have to put the biggest spools of wire in the feeder that it can take...i run small spools a lot of times because of either weight or cost factors

[zapster]

You get all the good toys...

...zap!
