hi all,
i've read through at least a dozen forum posts on Kanthal, and sadly it's becoming harder and harder to understand.
As far for choosing which type I am stuck, and although I'm worried the info might be somewhere in this forum, I'm not able to find it search nor reading through a lot of posts last weekend.
So far, I've seen various postings advising to stay off from Nichrome and to go for A-1 Kanthal.. but that's where it becomes confusing.
fasttech is currently my supplier of choice, as I'm ordering a big pile of birthday goodies for myself from them anyhow
but they carry 3 types of A1..
- Authentic Kanthal A1 Nichrome
- Authentic Kanthal A1 FeCrAl Allow
- Authentic Kanthal A1 Nickel Resistance
Obviously in various sizes and lengths.. the difference in that I can understand.. but A1 AND Nichrome in one product?
Thumping head.. must read more forums.. must read.. must... well, you get the picture, I couldn't find the answer
Can anyone please tell me which is the safe choice, and if possible the quick differences between these 3?
thanks a lot
Tim
