Stamped welding rod?
I'm wondering if there is a supplier for stainless welding rod that
doesn't stamp each rod. I'm wanting it to cut into various lengths and don't use it to weld. Ken |

Is there some reason it has to be welding rod? There are many places that sell 303/304 SS wire and rod. Lenths depend on size, but small rods such as 3/16 can easily be found in 1, 3, or 6 ft lengths. Check mcmaster.com I needed some thin 1/16 wire and bought a pound of it precut in 1 foot lengths for a very reasonable price.

I have a bunch of stainless welding rod that has little tabs that give
the composition. This is not new stock so I don't know if all the current production is stamped or not. Dan wrote: I'm wondering if there is a supplier for stainless welding rod that doesn't stamp each rod. I'm wanting it to cut into various lengths and don't use it to weld. Ken |

Boss said it was too high from MSC and we are going to look at getting it by the coil if I can find relativly small quantities. I'm thinking 20 lbs and straigten it myself Ken |

I recently bought some ER347 tig rod (3' lengths) from tigdepot.com.
It had no markings. You might also try weldingsupply.com. They sell both Lincoln (which is stamped) and their house brand (which "may not be", according to the salesman I spoke with). wrote: I'm wondering if there is a supplier for stainless welding rod that doesn't stamp each rod.
