I will dis agree here, from an otherwise excellent post.in the US the default is E6010.
Ah, close but no cigar.I will dis agree here, from an otherwise excellent post.
My opinion is that 6011 is the most popular/default in the US for that style of electrode.
Many more places sell 6011 than 6010.
Sure they do but really it is practice that makes the most difference. It might help for you to go through the tutorials at the top of the page and to watch a few videos from Jody's Welding Tips & Tricks on Youtube.Cool do good quality rods make a difference to the weld ??

Ive found "Magmaweld" to be decent, available in small quantities as well as in 5kg packs. Look on Ebay for Oxford Welding supplies. What thickness steel are you going to be working with?What’s a good welding electrode for my new arc welder ? Mainly sheet metal ! I do have a mig as well
Mainly gonna be welding sheet metal ! But I’m also gonna be making a welding tableIve found "Magmaweld" to be decent, available in small quantities as well as in 5kg packs. Look on Ebay for Oxford Welding supplies. What thickness steel are you going to be working with?
Yeah I have a inverta mig welder that does everything as well ! but I’ve also got my arc welderTake this as a beginner/amateur opinion. If you have a MIG as well then you're probably best practising arc on thicker material, say 3mm up, and using 2.5mm electrodes. Rather than diving straight in with the thinnest.
