I was just wondering if anyone uses this vulcan nozzle and what machine it fits. Is it special for the HF machines. That info would be great.

Hey guys I have a generic mig 135 machine. I use the lincoln electric flux core nozzle tip it fits the threads on my machine. I burn these up because they are so cheap. The vulcan nozzles seem a bit heavier duty but they are not threaded. Is there a special diffuser or part that will make these work...

Very good info, this is not critical I am just welding a plate of medium steel onto some mild. Just don't want it falling off.

Oh boy this guy is a total noob. Ok OP take it from a former noob that started welding on his ride, take the gas out of the gas tank if you are anywhere near lines or the tank or engine bay.

Don't be scared to really crank it up. Also I have had tanks from Airgas namely that like to fluctuate for ...

I did try some rebound test on 1/4 plate and the rebound was worse than a plate of 1'' A36, had potential in the 64% range next to where I had it clamped real tight to a thick piece of ...

I have been reading on the interwebs and thumbing through my welding textbook is this just a problem with stick welding. I always assumed that flux core wire was safe from the elements. Now my textbook says you may have to recondition wire you have purchased that has been poorly stored ie, at home d...
