Where do you get your TIG consumables online?

I've been looking around and have found a wide range of prices.
I'm guessing that even the cheapest tungsten is just fine.

Thanks,

I agree .



"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

The cheapest is not always the best. How many electrodes are you going to
go through in a year? Get the correct electrode. Different color codes for
different characteristics. Some for AC, some for low amperage. Do a google
search on tungsten electrode colors.

Gray or black are best all around.

True for what I do. Which is not much TIG. But be aware that not all are
the same.

Lanthanated is generally the best for all. What is better?

I have looked for recommendations on what type (cerated, lanthanated,
thorated etc.) and have ordered and tried 1.5% lanthanated for
aluminum AC, and 2% throated for DC on steel an stainless steel.

The torch came with some cerated ones, and they seem OK too.
