The Equipment You Need to Start Welding

It is just a myth, and the truth is you only need a few welding equipments on a regular basis.

Even though the market offers various other accessories that are more advanced and updated, you can start a welding shop with a few essential tools.

The most crucial equipment welders need is a helmet. This guide will inform you about a few crucial welding tools that you should not be missing. Moreover, Rate My Welder can also be of great help in this regard.

Here, we have included everything you’ll need, from safety tools to essential equipment, so go ahead and give it a read.

Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet

An auto-darkening welding helmet is a must-have for anyone starting welding. There are a lot of options for auto-darkening welding helmets, and not all of them are well made.

But you don’t have to spend thousands on a helmet as you will find good quality ones on a budget. You have to

make sure that the product you are going for is user-friendly so that you can easily see the workpiece with more accuracy.

A Workbench or Welding Table

Another principal piece of equipment for welding is a workbench or a table. Working on the ground is neither comfortable nor safe and might also put your safety at risk.

Therefore, a welding table is

one of the first few items you want to keep ready before you start welding. If you do not want to spend thousands on a table, there are plenty of options for small portable tables available at a nominal price.

Welding Magnets

Welding magnets are quite versatile as they help you hold pieces and create 90-degree angles with other objects.

Make sure to buy more than a couple of magnets of varied sizes to help you with different projects.

Welding Gloves

When it comes to welding, you should invest in specialized equipment, and welding gloves are no exception.

You can’t replace welding gloves for general gloves as you’ll have to work in very high temperatures while welding.  These gloves come with a really thick coating to safeguard your skin against the heated material.

You can also use welding gloves to pick up hot metals for a few seconds, but it’s better not to make it a habit as it will ruin the gloves faster.

Safety Glasses

Sparks and other such small particles fly everywhere when you weld. These particles can also go inside your helmet, so a pair of safety glasses is a must.

Wear the glasses before wearing the helmet to avoid any unwanted accidents.

Welding Clams

You need welding clamps to hold other pieces together before tack welding them. It helps you to hold the pieces together tightly without causing any misplacement.

You will need at least 10 to 12 welding clamps for efficient working.

Measuring Tools

You need to have precise measurements when you weld. Therefore, you will need precise measuring tools depending on the project.

Measuring tools include anything from measuring tapes to framing squares, metal rulers, and calipers as well.

Metal Brush

Most welding processes create slag; hence, you will need a metal brush to scrape off the slag coating. A brush helps to clean the slag and reveal the final weld.

Welding Framing Jig

If you have to make square frames, then a welding framing jig is the most convenient tool to use. All you have to put the pieces into the framing jig, tighten it, and you will have a perfect square frame.

Although it is not that essential for beginners yet investing in a tool like this will save a lot of time and trouble.

Angle Grinder

Your welding will be incomplete without an angle grinder. It helps you in grinding, cutting metal pieces, and smoothing the weld.

You will get numerous choices for angle grinders, from really expensive ones to low ranged ones. If you are looking for more long-term use, we would suggest investing in a good quality angle grinder.

Conclusion

These are a few welding equipments that is necessary for every beginner. We hope that this write-up helped save you extra expenses and kickstart your welding career.

Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to leave comments on any queries.
