Vulcan outlaw 195 generator welder review

[@erickcorona39]

Had mine for 2 years been great running daily for 6 hours a day daily

[@Therenegadewrench]

Same here it’s been an awesome machine so far. I just choke it and it fired up with the electric start first try every time

[@Jten12]

Also ur accuracy could be throw off by the arc force. If I’m running 80 and it feels like 100 . I’ll take that any day over running cold

[@BryceCole-pv6oy]

Hey Paul just wondering how the 195 is holding up for you long term can you make a long term review video?

[@jacobwrona]

That lifetime cooler rocks. I have one the same size and it was affordable, made in USA and keeps ice for days.

[@HerbertMoore-n9u]

I want to see you weld and run a 13 amp angle grinder, lights, or a 140 amp face. I just want to see what it can do! 🎉

[@miguelmcclelland5306]

Do you have a video running the Lincoln 180? I would love to see that

[@titusnovak3277]

Наверное лучший твой видос) Уверен будут еще лучше) удачи, бро

[@cmh31909]

Your videos would be much more pleasant to view if you would hold the phone horizontally instead of vertically. You would get much more in the field of view.

[@Therenegadewrench]

Thanks for the advice. As you can tell I’m very new to this 😂

[@nicholasmorrill9131]

Could you take some actual measurements of the unit HF says it’s almost 4 ft long and I’m not seeing I’m assuming the mean with the wheel kit on but I want to know what it is with it off. Thank you sir

[@cz75tactical9]

Great vid. What are the dimensions like you have it without the wheel kit?

[@michael589m]

Why would you prefer the blue star? It’s more than double the price with less power. Just curious I’ve never used one.

[@Therenegadewrench]

The main reason I would prefer a Miller or Lincoln over Vulcan is accessibility to parts if needed. So far I haven’t had any issues or needed anything for my welder though and hopefully it stays that way!

[@tonyscustomrides]

Great video, will it run your Lincoln 180 at full power?

[@Therenegadewrench]

Yes it will. I just sold my Lincoln 180 pro mig or I would do a video

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

Have you used 6010 ?, I have heard that some inverter based machines can run 6011 but struggle with 6010

[@Therenegadewrench]

It haven’t struggled a bit with 1/8” 6010. I run it pretty often as all my local stores are always out of 6012

[@Therenegadewrench]

6011*

[@AllStarWeldingSC]

This machine runs 6010 perfectly. The reason the new inverter based welders struggle with 6010 is because they have a really low open circuit voltage, usually around 30v. You need over 50v. The Outlaw has 70-78 open circuit voltage. No worries!

[@scottwilhite9786]

Hi Paul, what size wire and how long is the stinger lead you use on your vulcan outlaw?

[@CH-fh9hp]

How is the initial arc start up? Have tried another small gen welder and the arc almost fizzled out when first striking

[@Therenegadewrench]

Nice clean startup, but you need to be running pretty warm warm for it to start cleab

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Can you run a plasma cutter off the generator? Thinking the harbor freight titanium 45.

[@Therenegadewrench]

I’m not sure as I haven’t tried. I don’t currently own a plasma cutter I use an oxy acetelyne torch to cut everything

[@DIRTDUMMY1]

Depends on if you're also powering an air compressor while powering the plasma... or using an engine drive air compressor to lessen the electrical load.

[@tsl7881]

This is a 6000w generator. The manual for the Titanium plasma.says 30a input, that's 7200W, but the manual is not exact. It might do all right at less than 45A cutting but then you need a fairly large compressor.

[@BoydHuffman-bw9eq]

Can it run a Lincoln electric 125 flux core mig 0.35 wire will it run ?

[@BoydHuffman-bw9eq]

Want the max can it welder ?

[@BullseyeMetalWerks]

Nice. Just picked up a primeweld 285. Check me out when you get time. Thinking about picking one of these up now

[@Therenegadewrench]

Awesome man I’ll check your page out!

[@harbertmoore2663]

Will it run lights, and weld at the same ⌚?

[@rollzolo]

Yup, even the fridge

[@scottsay6766]

Dude you passed on a trailblazer 302 for the same money as that!!! Why???!

[@Therenegadewrench]

Haha I know it sounds crazy. But this was a brand new machine and the trailblazer was very used and the hours were unknown. Also the footprint. Not sure if you can tell from the videos but I would have to plate and reinforce the top of my device body to mount a welder. I liked how the Vulcan fit down in the bed with room to spare

[@rwboutdoors8867]

Does it not have an auto idle down setting? For when you stop a weld it idles down until tou strike an arc again? Could you do a test and see if you leave the welding power switch in the off position if it will still weld but then idle back down when you stop the weld please

[@Therenegadewrench]

It does have auto idle if your not welding or using a tool plugged into the outlets it will idle itself down. I’ve never tried welding with the welding power turned off though

[@rwboutdoors8867]

Can you do a video demonstrating it’s auto idle? It makes no mention in any of the descriptions I’ve seen on it having that feature. Thanks !!

[@mikemiller5268]

They do not idle down on weld . With the weld turned off, it will on generate / AC .

[@rwboutdoors8867]

@@mikemiller5268 gotcha so only idles down on the ac generator side when no load is being applied. I don’t really understand why they designed it to need full constant power in weld mode. It should idle down in between welds like most engine driven welders IMO. Maybe I’m just familiar with this newer technology on engine drives

[@mikemiller5268]

@RWB Outdoors cost wise compared to all of others ,I can live with it. I like how smooth it welds. I've built pipe corrals and done implement repair, so far its worked good for me.

[@johnpapa8681]

What is the minimum amperage setting for welding with this machine?

[@Therenegadewrench]

I’ll have to check it out this evening not sure off the top of my head. I’ve welded some very thin sheet metal with it

[@johnpapa8681]

@@Therenegadewrench cool. Thanks.

[@tsl7881]

Supposed to run down to 20A. This is the same as the Klutch from Northern Tool that does not have electric start, but has a three year warranty.

[@davidsumpter1]

Are tou running this welder day in day out ? Do you use it daily?

[@Therenegadewrench]

Yes I run it daily. Some days it may only get run for 30 minutes and other days it may run all day. It all depends on the job but so far I haven’t had any issues

[@hav1byte]

@@Therenegadewrench what do you mean run for 30 mins? you mean duty cycle? all day? sorry im not understanding this...ty

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

@@hav1byte I believe he means that some days he only needs to use it for 30 mins, other days he welds all day

Also can this run 6010 and 7018 good?

1/8” 6010 and 7018 run really smooth off of it

[@jhitt79]

@@moejr14 you left a comment on a public forum. Public means that anyone can see or reply. So, lesson number one is don’t do that. Lesson two is to take welding classes in high school or if you’re able to do trade school type thing while still in high school. Then by the time you graduate you’ll have basic skills. Also the instructors usually have contacts in those trades. Get yourself an inexpensive machine to practice on as well. Get into pipe welding or stainless and aluminum TIG work. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Stick with it if it’s something you’re serious about and you’ll be making around $100,000 per year by the time your friends are graduating college crying about their debt.

I’m not trying to sound like the typical internet hater but those beads looked pretty bad.

Can I throw 75 foot leads on this ? I got a sa200 I’m gonna be downsizing from

[@Therenegadewrench]

You should be able too. I usually run 50’ and haven’t had any problems. It runs 1/8 6010 and 7018 really well, that’s the biggest I’ve tried though.

May consider learning how to weld before you give a review on a welding machine

[@Therenegadewrench]

Just showing the machine that was after 14 hours of welding/wrenching and I was just in a hurry to get home to

[@harbertmoore2663]

Can you grind & weld at the same time?

[@4AM_DJ]

You should, it's on high idle all the time

[@tsl7881]

It has 6000w of running power to share, so if you're running 1/8 rod, there should be no problemo.
