Used Welders for Sale - What to Look for When Buying a Used Welder

Whether you run a metal shop or a construction company, having your own welder on hand can be advantageous. But investing in a new welding apparatus can be cost-prohibitive. Searching for used welders for sale can represent a smart decision.


Everyone's Got a Type

Before you go just grabbing the first welder that fits your bottom line, it's imperative to know what the different types of welders do. MIG, TIG and stick welders all have their pros and cons, including how fast they perform and the types of metal they can be used with.

When It's Time to Buy

Just like any expensive purchase, it's important to do your research on the unit and the seller. Any listing should include pictures of the unit, the make and model of the welder, and how old it is. 

One important piece of information you should know before buying is the duty cycle of the welder. The duty cycle is the length of time a welder can be used in the span of 10 minutes. A 60-percent duty cycle, for instance, means a welder can be used six minutes out of every 10, with a cooling period in between.

You should also look for units that have easily replaceable parts, so if something does go wrong, it's an easy fix.
