Sizing casters for a cart? Don't divide the load by four.

Floors aren't flat — three casters end up carrying everything while the fourth floats. The real math is (cart weight + max load) ÷ 3, rounded up.

A 2,180 lb cart needs 727 lbs per caster. That 660 lb caster you were about to buy? Not enough.

Worked example, capacity chart by wheel size, and the mounting specs most buyers forget:

Rod sticking? Undercut? Slag you can't chip? Nine times out of ten it's the amperage.

We put the recommended ranges for E6010, E6011, E6013, E7014, E7018 and E7024 into one chart — every diameter from 3/32" to 5/32", plus the right polarity for each rod and how far to back off for vertical and overhead.

Print it, tape it to the machine.

Running gasless wire and getting an ugly, spattery weld? Check your polarity.

Solid ER70S-6 and gas-shielded E71T-1 run DC+ (electrode positive). Self-shielded E71T-11 and E71T-GS run DCEN (electrode negative). Forgetting to flip the leads is the #1 cause of a bad gasless bead.

Our new guide breaks down solid MIG vs flux-cored wire — gas, polarity, single vs multi-pass, and what each one actually costs to run.

Ordered scaffold casters that wouldn't fit? It's almost always the stem.

Standard steel scaffold frames take a 1-3/8" round stem. Lighter towers and Bakers-style racks take 1". Stems don't adapt — measure before you buy.

And remember load ratings are PER caster. The shop rule: divide your total rolling weight by three, not four. Floors are never flat, and three corners end up carrying it.

Our new guide breaks down stem sizes, the 500–950 lb range, and when to run rubber vs polyurethane 👇

Running 7018 and not sure where to set your amps?

Our new E7018 buyer's guide breaks it down: 3/32" runs 70–100A, 1/8" runs 90–150A, and 5/32" runs 130–200A. All-position, AC or DC+, 70,000 psi minimum tensile.

We also cover the part most shops skip — why the low-hydrogen coating needs a hermetically sealed can, and what to do once you open it.

Copper-coated MIG wire that runs clean and welds strong. Our Mild Steel Solid Wire lineup covers ER70S-6 (70 ksi, general-purpose) and ER80S-D2 (80 ksi, low-alloy) for everything from everyday fabrication to high-strength, code-governed work.

Run it on 100% CO² for deep pe*******on or a 75–80% Ar/CO² blend for a smoother arc — either way it's DC+ ready in .023"–.045", spools and drums in stock. Spec-equivalent to SuperArc L-56, Spoolarc 86, and HB-28, so switching is easy.

See it run, then shop the full lineup.

Struggling to strike a clean arc with your stick welder? You're not alone — inconsistent starts are the #1 frustration for new SMAW welders.

In this quick clip we break down the 3 most reliable ways to strike an arc: the Scratch start (drag it like a match), the Tap start (straight down, lift, and go), and the Edge start (angled off a corner).

Master these and you'll cut down on stuck rods, arc-strikes on your base metal, and wasted time re-striking mid-weld. Pair the technique with the right rod — our E6010, E6011, E6013, E7018, and E7024 mild steel stick electrodes are all-position and built for a stable, forgiving arc, whether you're running AC or DC.

Shop the full lineup and find the right rod for your next job.
