Hi All,


I'm a new poster here, but my brother is into the wood side of things so i've seen a lot of your posts around for a few years, just decided to sign up the other day as i'm getting into the metal working side of things now

My question is about arc rod selection and the penetration depth of each. I have here some 6013 and 7014 rods and will be welding 50mm round tube (or is it pipe, I forget) with a 3mm wall. From what I read both rod types have a "medium" penetration. How far is this refering to and would these rods be sufficent later on for welding 25x25x3mm box tube for an offroad buggy I plan to build - that is after I make the workbench, shelves and possibly a trailer for collecting steel and timber



Reed.
