WHAT WELDING MACHINE YOU NEED TO START YOUR PAINT SHOP?

What welding machine to purchase? This question is probably asked by every welding shop owner…
A huge variety of devices on the welding market, a large number of manufacturers and equipment with various welding methods (MIG-MAG, TIG, MMA, laser) and the range of prices? You soon ask yourself what to choose among the large selection of materials available, and most importantly what to look for?

First of all, you need to ask yourself a few questions: what type of work will you be doing with the purchased welding machine? What will its main purpose be? How often will it be used? Will it be only in my plant or will it also be for external services, available to rent (the weight of the device is important here)? Will I buy parts necessary for welding, e.g. for the handle (nozzles, terminals, sleeves, etc.)? What warranty does the manufacturer offer for the purchased welding machine? Is there a welding machine service and where?
Gathering answers to the above-mentioned questions will allow you to narrow your selection of choices.

Online stores, stationary stores, wholesalers and supermarkets offer a multitude of devices – however, the specialist knowledge of welding machine sales experts is very important – these people can ask a few additional questions and propose the right “tailored” solution.
