Brad -

  Regarding the tungsten rods and such, I just went into a local
welding supply shop, and they had a LARGE selection of the tungsten
rods. Also had the tungsten Miller HF points in stock too. I would
call around to other welding suppliers. The one you dealt with
apparently doesn't know a lot about welders...the tungsten tips
are REQUIRED for TIG (*Tungsten*-Inert-Gas) welders.
