When it comes to welding and joining equipment, there's more than one way to build a process to get your industrial metalworking done. From gas welding equipment for arc welding processes like MIG and TIG to laser welding machines and joining equipment, you can get what you need online.

Web vendors sell literally tons of welding and joining tools for your floor. Business leaders look for this kind of purchase for tasks like these:

1. To initiate a new industrial process, where getting the welding and joining equipment is part of doing the research needed.

2. To resupply a floor where any equipment is worn or hazardous in any way.

3. As part of a "ramp up" procedure to get more operators into a shop or to automate parts of a gas welding or other similar process.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Get welding and joining equipment from "welding warehouses"


You can find a lot of different equipment to suit your needs from large welding "e-tail" sites where distributors sell from various manufacturers online, making it easy with catalog features, customer service and other provisions.

I recommend: Get all kinds of welding equipment from Welding Depot. Visit the Independent Welding Supply Corp. for welding equipment and accessories, as well as supplies include welding gas, welders, wire drive systems, welding protective gear, gas apparatuses, abrasives, chemical weld cleaners, weld finish tools and more.

Find specialized laser welding equipment or gas welding suppliers


Other vendors will focus on a particular kind of welding or specialize their catalogs to a certain process. Find the suppliers who can get you what you need, no matter what method of welding or joining you are pursuing.

I recommend: Buy inert gas welders for certain types of joining from Guild International, Inc. At American Torch Tip Company, specialized gear for welding processes, including laser welding equipment, is featured by category.

Find deals on used welding and joining equipment


Along with shipping brand new units from manufacturers, some equipment distributors can offer you items that have been warehoused for re-use or re-conditioned. Depending on your needs, used equipment can be a way to get your project implemented better. Use the online catalog and follow-up options provided by these companies to find out if a used purchase works for you.

I recommend: Get used welders from Airco, Hobart, Miller, Motoman, Nelson, Teledyne, Lincoln and ESAB at Weld Plus Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio. R & B Welding Applications in Chatsworth, CA includes more used welding equipment in their catalog.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Be clear on warranty and return policies. If your gear is not compatible with what you just bought, or if used equipment stops working, you'll be back to dealing with your welding equipment wholesalers. Make sure details are hammered out before your gear arrives at your door.
