Good rods but you are aware they are only downhand

I didn't but I do now, I am trying to get a few types of rod together to have a play with my new Gysmi 200 FV.

They will do fillet welds beautifully....just stick it in the corner and let it melt........they will weld for you

Slightly confused now as when TechnicalAl said the rods were Downhand only I checked on the Bohler website and the PDF seemed to suggest 4g/4f Overheads (high arrow, left to right). Well the rods arrived today and the box shows 1g/1f/2g/2f Horizontals (low arrow, left to right) so hopefully that is the correct info as they will be more useful to me.

You might have to click on the image to see the whole of the label.

I am going to sneak off to the workshop and try a few out.

If there is a 2.5mm you might be able to use it overhead............and even vertical sometimes
We used to make a 7028 that would run nicely vertical in a 3.2mm

The bigger sizes will be downhand
