    Default best place online to order filler rod and tourch parts

    arch zone and weld depot are the best two I have found so far. Any others out there worth taking a look at?

    I have purchased gas cups and other welding minutia via EBay with pretty decent success. I must say I really like walking into the LWS and getting stuff though. I've established a pretty good relationship and can get stuff now and at reasonable prices.

    I just ordered my Miller Elite Digital helmet and some Weld Craft tungsten and some filler rod from http://www.weldingsupply.com/
    The helmet ran me $287 rather then the $390 everyone else wants for it. They also had really good prices for the tungsten and filler rods. I purchased 2 pounds of 3 sizes of ER70S2 and 308L and 5 sizes of 4043 (22lbs total), the helmet, Tillman gloves, and 3 different sized tungsten all for less than $500.

    I work away from home weekdays and home on weekends so It can make a little home project stretch for weeks if I try to mail order everything I "might" need. It can be very hard (and frustrating) to predict what type materials may be needed for a given project.

    Not an expert yet. However, from what I have read arc-zone is one of the better online to deal with. I have ordered from them more than once. I have had no problems. I didnt get a free bag of peanuts though.

    Arc zone has good pricing on tungsten and filler metal and that is the only place online where I could find 2% lanthanated electrodes. And you also get a free bag a peanuts with every order.
