61843200 - Bonarc E7014 1/8" High Speed Stick Electrode

Smooth and Easy-to-Use Welding Rods

Bonarc 7014 3.2mm Stick Electrodes are a favorite among welders for their incredible ease of use and smooth performance. Often referred to as a "drag rod" or "contact rod," the thick coating allows the welder to drag the electrode tip directly in contact with the workpiece without sticking. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners learning to control arc length, as well as experienced professionals looking for a fatigue-free welding experience during long shifts.

These electrodes are perfect for a wide variety of projects, from farm repairs and home hobbyist fabrication to light industrial manufacturing. The 3.2mm (1/8") diameter is the "goldilocks" size for welding material thicknesses ranging from 1/8" up to 1/4" or thicker with multiple passes. Because it runs beautifully on AC welders (like the classic "buzz box") as well as modern DC inverters, you don't need a specialized power source to get great results. The arc starts easily and restrikes instantly, which is a huge benefit when doing tack welds or short stitch welds.

One of the standout features of the Bonarc 7014 is how clean the finished weld looks. The slag coverage is complete but cools to a brittle crust that often lifts off by itself or with a light tap of a chipping hammer. This means you spend less time cleaning and more time welding. The bead appearance is smooth and aesthetically pleasing, often requiring little to no grinding before painting. Whether you are building a workbench, repairing a trailer frame, or fabricating ornamental iron, the Bonarc 7014 delivers consistent, high-quality welds with minimal effort.
