Lincoln R60 Welding rod coil cores mandatory? Alternatives?

[Dave Wing]

Hi all,

I wanted to add that if you are a beginner, first get the machine running with the specified welding rod and get very used to how the machine is supposed to operate and charge batteries... This should be your base line. After this make all the core changes you want to get a better understanding of what works best... Record and or document all your results as you will forget and end up wasting time with your research. Simply, you want maximum progress or advancment for that valuable time spent on research.

Hi all!
In the book Bedini recommends to use R45 iron welding rod, R60 can be used too.

Hi to all,
i looked tru the threads and saw that some people in Europe have problems with finding R60 weldingrods.
In Europe they are called G3 weldingrods.When you compare the ingredience you see this are the same.

Hi to all,
i have made a mistake because i say that the G3 are the same as the R60,i read once more the ingridients and have to say that the G3 are between the R60 and R45.
R60:C 0.11-0.15%,Si 0.1-0.35%,Mn 0.9-1.4%,Ni 0.3%
G3:C 0.08%,Si 0.1%,Mn 1.1%,Ni 0.4%
