Questions & Answers
Quick answers to help customers make informed decisions about their welding equipment needs.
MIG welding uses a continuous wire feed and is generally faster and easier to learn, making it ideal for thicker materials and production work. TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode and filler rod, offering more precise control and cleaner welds, which works best for thin materials and detailed work. The choice depends on the specific project requirements and skill level.
Amperage requirements depend on material thickness and welding type. For thin sheet metal (1/8″ or less), 30-130 amps typically works well. Medium thickness materials (1/8″ to 1/4″) usually need 100-180 amps. Thicker materials over 1/4″ may require 150+ amps. Consider getting a machine with a wider range to handle various projects.
Many smaller welding machines can operate on standard 120V household outlets, but they’re limited in power output. For serious welding work or thicker materials, 240V machines provide much better performance and duty cycle. Check the electrical requirements before purchase to ensure compatibility with available power sources.
Essential safety gear includes a proper welding helmet with appropriate shade lens, welding gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and closed-toe shoes. Good ventilation or respiratory protection is important when welding indoors. Eye protection for grinding and wire brushes for cleaning are also recommended for complete setup.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning dust and debris from vents, checking cable connections, and replacing worn consumables like tips and nozzles. Most machines benefit from professional servicing every 1-2 years depending on usage. Keeping the work area clean and storing equipment properly helps extend machine life significantly.
Most complete packages include the main welding unit, ground cable with clamp, welding torch or gun, basic consumables (tips, nozzles, contact tips), and an instruction manual. Some packages may include a helmet, gloves, or wire, but many accessories are sold separately. Check the product description for specific inclusions before ordering.

Forge Your Path Forward
Whether you’re building dreams in your garage or running a full-scale operation, Vulcan has the tools to turn raw metal into something extraordinary. Explore our complete range of welding equipment designed for those who demand excellence.
Forged in Fire
Vulcan started in a garage in 2018 when founder Marcus Chen got fed up with welding equipment that couldn’t handle the heat of real work. As a fabricator running his own shop, he knew the difference between gear that looked good on paper and gear that actually performed when sparks were flying. What began as modifying existing equipment for his own projects turned into building welding systems that other metalworkers actually wanted to use.
We design our equipment for the people who understand that welding isn’t just about joining metal—it’s about creating something that lasts. Every machine we build gets tested in real shops, on real projects, by welders who don’t have time for equipment that quits when the job gets tough. Our engineers are welders first, which means they know the difference between a clean bead and a pretty one, and why that matters when you’re working on something that has to hold.
The name came from the Roman god of fire and metalworking, but we’re not trying to be mythical. We’re just trying to make equipment that works as hard as the people using it. When a pipeline welder in Alaska or a custom fabricator in Detroit picks up our gear, they’re getting tools built by people who’ve been in their boots, dealt with tight deadlines, and know that good enough isn’t good enough when your reputation is on the line.

When precision meets power, professionals choose Vulcan. Here’s what welders across industries are saying about our equipment.
Mike D.
Been using Vulcan rods for three years now, and they consistently lay down cleaner beads than anything else I’ve tried. The penetration is deep and even, which saves me time on prep work.
Jennifer T.
Our shop switched to Vulcan equipment last year and haven’t looked back. The duty cycle on their MIG welders is outstanding – we run them hard on structural work and they just keep going.

Finally found flux-core wire that doesn’t spatter like crazy. Vulcan’s wire feeds smooth and gives me the control I need for overhead work. Makes those tough positions actually manageable.
