I will chime in on the 7014 rod. Runs good for me. I do use 7018 DC for repairs on shafting and cogs ( weldahubs etc ). Otherwise MIG and acetelyne get used for most production work. BTW Dimag, keen idea on the rod oven. A 100 watt bulb will also keep your battery warm in the wintertime but never thought of the pipe and bulb for the rod.
