making stuff. I,m no welder like some of you, but I can weld fairly good. Nothing like Jody for
sure. But I have been welding Tig, Mig & stick for many years off & on. Remember I,m a machinist
not a welder.

But I have searched the net on cheap China machines. I guess the price is why. But what inspired this
post is some guy on the net said this. He said a lot of the burn down on these machines was the routing
of wires in hot places, transformers & such. I,m no sparky by any terms, OK. But can any of you guys that know
electronics think these machines can be upgraded to give them more life?

Funny how Americans can up grade ANYTHING. I love Blue & Red believe on that. My mig & Tig are both MILLER.
I would NEVER sell ether of them unless I had to. But these new ones have gone past the old Transformer ones
I have. I really would like to be able to adjust frequency as you can not with the old transformers.

That is my only thing about the ole guy machines. But if you are not a good welder you can over come that.
I,m not that good. But it would be cool for us limited income guys for some way to make the china crap
last a little longer, than the report I keep hearing.

GOD I love this form & Jody for helping us with his knowledge. the net is so GREAT with forms as this.

Thank each & every one of you for helping this Ole fellow in my retirement. God bless you all.

Welders NOT made in China | Now you have a choice...

 

Fact: The majority of welders on the market are made in China

*

For some years now, Chinese-manufactured welding machines and plasma cutters have dominated the market in Australia, with the clear majority of machines sold being made China*. 

And yes this includes models that we currently offer here at Weldclass, as well as many other well-known brands and models.

 

So what's wrong with that? 

No doubt about it, Chinese made welding machines can offer great value for money - and that includes welders that we currently offer here at Weldclass.

However, we reckon it's well overdue that Aussie welders had more choice. When it comes to buying a motor vehicle, you can readily chose from cars made in Germany, Italy, France, China, Korea, USA, UK and the list goes on.  So why not welding machines ?

 

Want more choice?

Welding enthusiasts have been telling us they want more choice.  In fact, we recently surveyed thousand of welders and metal fabricators across Australia, and the majority of respondees indicated they wanted to see more options.

We got sick of hearing stuff like "it can't be done", or "there's no viable options outside of China", or "all machines like this have to come from China". 

Just like you, we reckon it's only fair to offer alternatives. 

So, behind the scenes here at Weldclass, we started working with one of Europe's largest & most experienced welding machine manufacturing plants to develop a selection of machines that;

1. Meets the needs of Aussie fabricators
2. Offers buyers an alternative to the existing market offering
3. Are affordable and accessable to welding enthusiasts and professionals alike
4. Are supported in Australia, by an Aussie-owned and operated company

 

Now for the good news!

After an intensive 3-years of product development, trial and testing... we're pumped to tell you that we're ready to provide Aussie welders with the best value-for-money range of European-made Welders and Plasma Cutters readily available in Australia.**

Why are most welding machines made in China* ?

It's no secret that China is a manufacturing super-power who have dominated and even monopolised many industries. For years now, many welding machine brands and suppliers have looked to China for their main or (in some cases) only manufacturing location and source of supply - with one of the key benefits being that China offers a low cost base and very competitive, some would say aggressive, pricing approach. 

However, at Weldclass we've decided that Aussie's deserve to have alternatives and choice.  While we will continue to offer Chinese-made machines, we've also been working hard to develop a range of European made machines at affordable prices. And the great news is our new range of next-generation European made welders and plasma cutters is off and racing! Click here for more details.

Looking for a Non-Chinese Welder ?

Looking for alternatives to the status-quo? An affordable range of European designed and manufactured MIG, Stick, TIG and multi-function Welders, available from Weldclass distributors across Australia. Made in Italy and designed for the Aussie welder, with over 60 years of European technology and experienced packed into every machine. 

Looking for a Non-Chinese Plasma Cutter ?

Now there's an affordable alternative! A selection of plasma cutters designed and manufactured in Europe (Italy in fact), readily available in Australia from a Weldclass distributor near you.  Developed in partnership with one of Europe's largest and most experienced manufacturers of welding and plasma cutting equipment. 

Australian made Welders | What welders are made in Australia? | Are any Welders made in Australia ?

Currently there are no manufacturers of inverter welding machines based in Australia.  One reason for this is that it requires high production volumes to be able to produce machines for an affordable cost, and this is difficult to achieve with Australia's relatively small population.  The good news is that Weldclass is 100% Australian owned and operated. And when you chose a Weldclass welding machine or plasma cutter - such as one of our Italian-made units - you're supporting Australian jobs and ensuring that the proceeds from your purchase stay in the Australian economy, instead of being funnelled back to a multi-national off-shore corporation.
