/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Most of my work is in mining, and stick is still the best tool for most jobs. The trouble is a lack of skilled people, its easier to just put some kid on a MIG and be done with it.

This is actually a bit of a problem, I'm in NZ and Australia/NZ use entirely different rods and standards to the rest of the world.
90% of my welding is done with 16TC, the rest with 77 or 68. I'm not even sure what the international equivalents are.
