Anyone have a chart on electrode selection? I specifically need advice on welding 1/8" x 4" Flat to 1/2" rebar. And setting for a Bobcat 250. I'm paying for my sins of being a mig guy for so long. TB

I'm just a hobbyist, you may want to try 6013 a beginners rod, 1/8" about 125 amps.
6011 if you need more penetration it has a forceful arc. I say blow torch. http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/weldrod.html Go to the Consumables and pick Stick Electrodes. http://www.mylincolnelectric.com/Catalog/lecobrowse.asp |

BTW, some rebar is hard. Look out for cracks when it cools.

I hate to bounce off topic,(but I will) we have all heard the "evils" of fab work using rebar.I use it all the time. The key is what you using it for. That being said, I was visiting a friend in Haiti last spring I notice his kitchen table and all the chairs were made from rebar. Simple design with plywood tops. He said he bought them on the street 6 years ago.He runs an orphanage and the building the set is in houses 13 teenage boys so it must be pretty tough.I asked my wife if she wanted a "rebar dining set". It didnt take long for the jury to come back on that one!
