That's a shame to spend that much for a welder and then have to spend $175 or so more for a foot pedal. Just saying.
 
Yea, 900 bucks is why to much for that welder. They should have added a SCC pedal, 25' CK flex lock torch with a leather cover, a Tweco brass ground clamp, USA wire and cable leads and sell them for 400 bucks.
Ah a little sarcasm. FYI I think the Vulcan welders are a heck of a deal even though I decided last fall to buy two red machines to replace the Sears welders I had been using for decades, but it was a close call. My remark was in response to shovelon's (whose opinions I have come to respect) comments re the pedal. He as you probably know beta tested the Vulcan machines and they made worthwhile changes to the final product based upon his use and recommendations. They should have heeded his comments on the pedal too.
Not that I owe you any explanation.
 
So you weld cans together with 30 amps?
 
They must be you can see where he started over several times after he stopped to rotate the cans. I'm going to have to try that with my sw200. I may get one of these Vulcans one day if $800 or so falls in my lap, just to see what it is like.
 
To me that would be dishonest and I don't care for that kind of crap. JMO
