Guide to Buying Welding Equipment in South Africa

Professional welders may have a lot of variables to handle during complicated projects but at the end of the day both professionals and amateurs require three things: the welding rig, material to weld and safety equipment.

Torch welding rigs are easy to work with. They use oxyacetylene, a mixture of oxygen and acetylene, for the flame along a filler rod. Welding rigs for occasional home use are much cheaper than laser-beam welding rigs, which are complicated and primarily meant for use in heavy industrial applications.

Complete welding rig comprises a welder, a blow torch, welding rods and protective gear. The power source has two outlets; one for the electrode lead and the other for the grounding wire. A clamp at the end of the grounding wire is placed on the work piece for completing the circuit when the welding rod comes in contact with the piece. There may also be a need for welding accessories for specific projects. You may also need a grinder for shaving off extra stuff that tends to melt on the pieces you are welding together.

Safety gear is as important as the welding equipment itself. When the welding process is initiated it gives out sparks. Since you need to be close to the area being welded you need to protect your eyes from the sparks as well as the intense light rays produced during the process.
