What do you pay for SS tig wire?
I want to see how much variance there is in prices. Post up, even if you're paying way high and are embarassed.
I paid roughly $5.20/lb for 316L recently. It tends to be a little higher for smaller wire than larger wire.

That and because weld wire is made in a way that it all starts out the same and is worked down in size....so the smaller wire has to be worked down smaller from the original size the manufacturer buys.

Re: (konigturbocivic)
I was hoping that you guys wouldn't be getting it so cheap I'd feel ripped off. I was pretty sure these local guys were doing me pretty well. I do have to buy the stainless in 10lb boxes though. Aluminum, I can get in 5lb boxes.

Sorry off topic.
Camshafts: High performance camshafts cost more than the milder grinds, but the manufacturer has less machining time (due to more lift and duration) on the identical blank. Go figure. Too many marketing geniuses out there screwing us.
