The Vulcan is a metal working variable speed drill press with hybrid mill function. The main differences between it and the Voyager are the following:
- Improved double V groove bearings
- High-precision ER32/3MT Combination Spindle
- Metalworking table
- Gravity fed coolant system
- Improved firmware with expanded speed chart
The Vulcan has a metalworking based speed chart which is expanded from the Voyager, and it has new options for "Drilling", "End Milling", "Face Milling" and "Reaming". The user will select the operation, then select the drill bit type used (HSS, carbide, etc.) and it will give a material with an accompanying SFM. Once you have selected the SFM, you will be able to select your drill bit size which also shows the speed.
This version also sets the default max speed to 5500rpm.
