I've been checking out several of those Vulcan welders. Let us know how you like it.
Can’t let Hussein have all the fun.
The regulator that came with the Vulcan is a simple double gauge one. I want to be able to do an argon purge when I weld the SS exhaust so I bought a dual flow meter so I can run both the torch and the purge line from one tank.Nice!
Mine was an 'inexpensive' model from Eastwood. I have found that the regulators they provide with the lower end equipment are sub-par. With mine, I would get flow creep, which wasted much Argon. Worth buying a better quality regulator/gauge head that will keep the regulated value you set. On the other hand, yours looks like sight glasses, so maybe the design is better, I dunno.
There is a spool welder attachment that you can get for this Vulcan that will let you do MIG aluminum welding so if I find I have a need to do aluminum I could pick that up.Even if you can't get the AC welding for aluminum with the skills you will gain from this your wallet will be happier even on aluminum. You will come to understand what a welder needs and be able to fab the individual parts to be welded. Typically they charge by time so if you can do all the prep work, and outsource the welding and only the welding, that intake will be much cheaper!

Sounds great. I just have to find some time.Hi Rodger-
I should have you out to my house for some TIG lessons - it's a great skill to have. I'm no pro myself, but I've taught the basics many times.
