text: Hell welding rods for a 50# box now runs from $165.00 to just over $200.00 depending on type and size. I like to use a lot of 5/32 7024 but it’s now $200.00 a box the gas for my mig has gone up to $70.00 for a refill I still have wire in stock. The blades for my horizontal saw are now $70.00 each. Lathe and mill tooling is out of reach in price.
