i burn jet rods on some load out jobs cant tell you what diameter they are because i never checkedbut they are 1/4 or close to iti normally run them in the 350+ amps range.i sure would like to see a monster rod that burns at 700 amps that would be a beast. probably get some 1/2 round bar and dip it ...

Thanks for the info.I'm really just looking to be able to do some tig repair work with my boboat til I can get a proper tig machine.will the 251d hook up to my bobcat with just welding leads .if I can get by like that for a little while I will be able to get more money to get a tig machine.

figured i would give an update as to how it's been going.we found out the miller hf had a hf leak in a capacitor and thats what done the damage to the suitcases so as you can guess we ain't hooking nuthing to that machine other than stick rods.the guy who retired got in touch with me and is in the p...
