Here are some more information for Esab Handy:

One of the things that seems to confuse welders who want to start a welding business is the purchase of welding equipment. There are so many options available that its hard to know where to begin. And you do not want to make any mistakes here because unlike buying a car or a new set of golf clubs, this decision can really make the difference between being successful or failing. For example: Should you buy new or used welding equipment? What brand is the best? Miller, Lincoln, Esab, Hobart? Should you get a multi process machine like the Miller Shopmaster that is capable of Tig, Mig, Flux core, and stick welding? Or should you buy a separate machine for each process? Oxyfuel cutting outfit or plasma cutter? Air compressor or electric grinders? You see what I mean?

This article about starting a welding business is strictly opinion but it is based on solid experience. It is only because I have a welding business that I feel qualified to weigh in on how to start a welding business.

Here is what I would do in a down and dirty nutshell:

Stay away from multi process machines like the Miller Shopmaster unless you get a smoking good deal on one and intend to use it for only one process. Why? It just takes too much time to swap processes and the hoses, torches, and cables are downright unmanageable.

For your main Tig welding machine, try to locate a Miller syncrowave 250 on eBay or craigslist. If you are patient, you can find one with all the accessories for 2000 bones or less. A bargain.

For a Mig welding machine, again shop eBay or craigslist for a Millermatic 250 or 251.

Somewhere around 1000 bucks is a good deal. Anything less is a steal.

If you are cramped for space, a foldable welding table or two is the ticket. They are strong and you can hang them on the wall to get them out of the way.

You can get by with electric grinders at first and I would definitely get a couple of straight grinders and 4 1/2 inch angle grinders with a good assortment of consumables.

If you have a shop and not just the garage in your home, I would recommend an oxyfuel cutting, welding, and heating kit. Very useful. Owners size cylinders are roughly 175 each and the torch kit along with cart might cost another 300. Thats a total of 650 dollars. But you need it.

In fact, you really need to have a spare cylinder for all your processes. Welding gas cylinders are available in basically two kinds: leased cylinders which are the full sized cylinders used in industry, and owners cylinders. Owners cylinders are usually about 125 cubic feet or roughly half the capacity of the big ones. I recommend getting two owners cylinders for everything. Why? Because running out of argon on Saturday evening when the job is due out Monday morning is not bad for business. Having an extra owners bottle will not add to your monthly expenses and buys you time in getting your main cylinder refilled.

2 argon, 2 argon/co2, 2 acetylene, 2 oxygen at roughly 175 each = 8x175=1400

So here is the breakdown:

• Used Miller syncrowave 250 2000
• Used Millermatic 250 or 251 1000
• 8 gas cylinders 1400
• 4 grinders 2 straight, 2 angle 500
• Oxyfuel kit 300
• Miller spectrum 375 plasma cutter 1400
• 2 foldable Welding tables 300
• Total 6900

This list is a great beginning toward starting you own welding business.

Buying Miller Plasma Cutters

Miller plasma cutters are effective for a wide variety of applications, from the automotive industry to the locksmith trade. If you are interested in picking up one of these machines for yourself, it is first important to do a little research and determine what the best mode type is for the application where it is required.

First there are the compact Miller plasma cutters which offer high power in a small package. These machines are portable and typically run off of a 120 volt outlet. They are the ideal choice for small onsite repairs due to this ease of portability. However, just because they are small does not mean they are not powerful as they can cut through aluminum and steel without any problems. If you need something more powerful, then a low amp model may be the solution for you. They will run off of either 120 or 230 volt outlets depending on the model and have built in control panels and fans to keep them from overheating.

There are also high amp Miller plasma cutters, but they are so large that they must remain stationary. They can weigh up to 100 pounds and can run upwards of 80 amps and usually come with a valet style undercarriage which allows them to be moved more easily. Some offer VOTECH technology which causes the machines to have a faster arc, better cutting speed, and an overall improved performance. There are various features offered such as LED panels, parts in place, and lockout security.

As you may have known, when it comes to these tools there are countless brands to choose from, so why purchase Miller plasma cutters? This company has been in business since 1929 and its main headquarters is located in Appleton, Wisconsin. They have had a long history of innovation, always breaking ground in new product technologies. As a result, they have one of the largest product lines available, including the Miller 701 plasma cutter which is part of the Spectrum line. Their company was also largely involved in the creation of inverter technology which has since become a standard in the industry. They believe that the more advanced technology becomes, the easier the tools should be to use.

When trying to determine which Miller plasma cutters would be the best choice for you, the Miller 701 plasma cutter is an excellent place to start. When you look at the specs of this machine you know it has a lot to offer. It features a convenient compact size that makes taking it from one jobsite to the next easy. However, even though it is small in size it is not small in power as it features excellent cutting and gouging abilities. It also comes with plenty of features that make using it a pleasure, including automatic air regulation, auto re-fire technology, auto post flow, and a handy storage compartment for plasma consumables. This is just one example of the many fine products that the company offers.
