Stocking the consumables

Running out of tips or wire mid-job costs more than the parts. Here's what most small shops keep on the shelf.

Welding

ER70S-6 MIG wire is the general-purpose wire for mild steel. Match the wire size (.030 or .035 in.) to your machine's drive roll and contact tips. Contact tips come in styles for each gun brand (Miller, Tweco, Bernard), so check the style before you order. 7018 rod is the go-to stick electrode for structural steel; keep it dry. 2% lanthanated tungsten works on both AC and DC TIG.

Abrasives

Flap discs blend and finish welds; 40 to 60 grit removes material, 80 to 120 finishes. Thin cut-off wheels (.045 in.) cut fast with less heat. Ceramic 2x72 belts cut hardened steel fast and last longest.

Plasma

Plasma consumables are specific to the torch. Some machines use separate electrodes, nozzles and shields; others use one-piece cartridges. Each listing names the machine and torch it fits.

Questions about Welding Supplies & Consumables

What MIG wire should I use for mild steel?
ER70S-6 is the standard general-purpose solid wire for mild steel with C25 gas. Use .030 in. for thinner work and lower amperage, .035 in. for heavier work.
Are contact tips interchangeable between MIG guns?
No. Tips are made for a gun style, such as Miller, Tweco or Bernard, and a wire size. Check your gun before you order.
What tungsten is best for TIG?
2% lanthanated tungsten is a good all-around choice for both AC and DC TIG on steel, stainless and aluminum.
What grit flap disc should I use?
40 to 60 grit for removing weld and material, 80 to 120 grit for blending and finishing.
