HF Vulcan Welding Cart

[bmxdad]

Anyone else check out the new Vulcan brand at Harbor Freight?

Bought a pair of the tig gloves for $10, and they look pretty good. What I really like is the cart. $300, but would carry everything I have.

I built my own... in it for about 100 bucks...even if you bought a HF side box and new casters, it wouldn't cost you but about half what the vulcan goes for and would be much heavier duty.

The large cart is a very good product. Probably the best item I have purchased at Harbor Freight. I was able to buy mine at $259.00 or $249.00 as an introductory offer. I can't remember the exact cost.

Well ... picked one up for $249 + tax, so it came to about $286 total. My only concern was for the swivel casters, but after putting it together ... not worried at all. To me, they look very well made. And the wheel lock is solid and easy to click on and off.

Not sure how long it's good for though.

Now I need to figure out what goes where. My MIG and Plasma were wired into a junction box, which had a 15' extension coming out of it. This itself could plug into a 20' extension I have, if I need to. TIG is dual voltage and has a 120v plug, but there is a 240v adapter.

So .... do I want to add a plug on each one, that can be plugged into a box on the side .... or???
Maybe wire each one to a main box, with a single extension plug coming out of that, like I originally did. I wouldn't be using more than one at a time, but it does kind of lock the machines to the cart.

Suggestions ???

This statement right here is what caused me to build my own "Now I need to figure out what goes where. My MIG and Plasma were wired into a junction box, which had a 15' extension coming out of it. This itself could plug into a 20' extension I have, if I need to. TIG is dual voltage and has a 120v plug, but there is a 240v adapter." I looked around a lot and realized that I would want to customize it after I bought it.

I do think its a good buy and is well built, but I knew that after I got it I would be burning stuff too it anyways so for about $60 in material and what I had laying around I made one that suits my needs.

Plus a cart and table are a right of passage for welders.

OK, but how did you wire them up?
