​What is the cost of a Portable welding machine in Nigeria in 2024?

If you are like Mike Ogantu, a resident of Ilorin that wants to set up his own home-based project welding workshop as a vocation to experiment on welding and also make some money by the side so that he can have the opportunity to work on so many cool welding projects he has always dreamed of as a child. Mike loved some videos he saw on youtube and wants to practice some of them. Surprisingly many of these welding tools come cheaply and also of high quality. Now is the best time in Nigeria to get handy welding tools and for all budget price levels and quality levels. Let us dive into some choice-making and answer pertinent questions such as the welding machine cost in Nigeria.

If you have a garage or a small space in your backyard that can have electrical connections and does not have any leak to destroy electrical appliances. What you need to set up a small home workshop includes essential tools, assorted hand tools, a hammer, chisel, cordless drill, and do not forget to have a fan(Table of standing) that will help you with ventilation. We need oxygen all the time. If you can get a few more ancillary items such as a decent welding table, clamps, safety equipment like a helmet, hand gloves, and apron

It would be best if you still had the most important for joining metals, a welding machine, to be a proud owner of a home welding machine workshop.

Before exploring all the price options, let us look at our new welding workshop's best and most cost-effective options. We will review some made-choices and make an informed decision.

Oxygen and acetylene welding

We are all aware of welding with oxygen and acetylene. Oxygen and acetylene cylinders are bulky and may not always suit most kinds of welding required, even though it is relatively simple to operate.

On the Upside, Oxygen and acetylene welding does not require any electricity, and it offers a lot of versatility, such as the ability to cut, braze, weld, and heat metals.

On the Downside, Oxygen and acetylene are inside a compressed tank. Sometimes compressed gases produce toxic fumes and ambient heat and may be subject to an explosion if improperly used.

Even though the oxygen and acetylene welding process is low cost and easy to learn, no one wants the risk of fire and explosion in a home workshop.

Types of portable welding machines

The four most common types of welding are arc welding processes and include stick, MIG, TIG, and flux welding; of those, TIG is typically the most expensive. The full technical names of welding processes are:

1. Shielded metal arc welding or stick welding (SMAW)
2. Gas Metal arc welding/Metal Inert Gas (GMAW/MIG)
3. Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW)
4. Gas Tungsten Arc welding/Tungsten inert gas (GTAW/TIG)

You can find the full description of these welding processes and the different types of welding machines here. We are not going into that in this article.

Stick welding, or Shielded Metal Arc Welding, is one of the common-sense easy-to-set-up types of welding. It may not be the best choice, but they are the cheapest option compared to MIG and TIG.

On the Upside of stick welding, it is basic, and the equipment setup is about as straightforward as it gets. Though the fumes produced by stick welding can be hazardous, the process is cheap, versatile, and suitable for indoor or outdoor welding.

On the Downside of the stick welding process, it is not great for many thin metals and requires electricity.

However, for anyone willing to put in the time necessary to learn the process, stick welding might be the option for your welding workshop.

Mig Welding

Mig welding is one of the most significant advancements we see in welding technology. The process is very streamlined, all-in-one, and makes welding much easier to get a handle on. The process involves loading the filler wire in the machine, setting your amperage dial in the device, and you are good to go. Note of caution, the MIG welding process is not cheap.

The Upside of the MIG welding process is that learning the basics of the machine requires some upfront education, which means considerable effort. Still, overall, Mig welding is a straightforward process that produces clean and sound welds.

The cost is the biggest Downside of Mig welding, especially when we compare it to the other processes. Mig welding machines and filler wire are more expensive than stick welding machines and electrodes. MIG welding applications are also limited, as Mig welding does not work for everything.

The Tikweld.com team will recommend MIG for smooth and clean welding. The ease of use makes the Mig welder an excellent option for your home project welding workshop if you can afford it. The modern MIG welding machine comes in not such expensive options, though.

Tig Welding process and welding machine

TIG welding is undoubtedly an option, but considering the costs, limited application, and technical skills required to effectively use the TIG welding machine, it is probably not the best option for a home welding workshop.

Now that we have cleared the air on what is desirable for a home welding workshop, we can emphasize the price points for portable welding machines. The Nigeria market has a lot of branded and unbranded welders on display. Let us be quick to point out that most of the brands you will see a made in China, and you will be surprised to note that even the best brands you know, like Lincoln and Miller, some of these brands have a manufacturing center in China. Globalization and global sourcing have supported the notion that quality products can be made anywhere. To compete, some brands want to enjoy cheaper available resources in their supply chain, hence they will outsource their manufacturing to China. That is why they either outsource the manufacturing and control the quality of the products or set up a plant in a distant location by themselves to produce it.

We will be quick with this, and these are the available portable welding machines in Nigeria
