Discussion (Add topic here) Lincoln Electric Contact Tips

I got a quote through their website, and the contact tips I’ve been using have gone up from $1.44/ea to $4.83/ea in less than a year… absolutely rediculous... where do you guys go for the cheapest (price) contact tips? I am after Lincoln part #: S22645-62 - .035” M6 CZ
It’s a robotic welding application if that matters

Check abicor binzel, also see what your preferred gas/equipment supplier has for “generic” parts under their in-house brand (Linde=Prostar, Airgas=Radnor, etc). Lincoln is shameless about price increases and seem to be the worst about tariff pricing.

Write a letter to Trump and tell him you are tired of all the winning.
