I posted ealier about rods to buy (Welding Rod Assorment). I got my rods in today, and I started playing with them. I had a steel junk piece that had some rust on it, so I took it to the wirewheel on my grinder.I cleaned it up with that then got the rest with a wire brush. I tried to use some of the rods, but I was unable to get them to strike till I was about 120 Amps. That seems pretty high, I mostly work with pretty small metal. Ohh yes, I forgot to mention it's all 3/32 and 1/8 inch rod. I've tried 6011, 6013, and 7014 and got the same results with all of them. Did I just buy rods that are too big or does it sound like something else is wrong. The welder I'm using is an old Craftsman 60hz AC welder, it can go from 20 Amps to 300 Amps. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
