About WeldCutSource

Last updated 2026-10-11

WeldCutSource is a free set of welding calculators and charts: welding cable size, MIG wire, TIG cups, stick electrode codes, lens shades, heat input, carbon equivalent, fillet weld strength, stitch welds and welding cost. Each page does one job and works straight away: there is no account and nothing to install.

How it works

• Everything runs in your browser. What you type or choose stays on your device; nothing is uploaded.
• Results are computed, not typed in. The worked examples on each page are produced by the same code the calculator runs, and the code is tested against reference values from textbooks, published formulas and hand calculations.
• Every result shows its working. Each calculator lists the formula and the steps with your numbers, and the result can be printed or saved as a PDF with the inputs and the date.
• Estimates, not certified calculations. Check critical welds against the applicable code and your welding procedure, and equipment values against the maker’s data.
• Third-party material used on the site is listed on the credits page.
