Here at Engweld, we distribute top brands of Arc welders, including ESAB, Lincoln Electric, and Bester. These MMA welders are suitable for a range of welding processes, with many offering an adjustable welding current range to ensure quality welds every time. Our Arc welding machines can work at a high welding speed with a good power supply and are best served for help with minor welding repairs rather than large jobs. These inverter arc welders are manual welders suitable for MMA and stick welding processes too, hence they are sometimes referred to as an MMA stick welder or something similar. Features like inverter technology and differing duty cycle outputs can be found throughout the category, so be sure to the check the specifications of each arc welder before purchase.
At Engweld, you can find everything you need for MMA arc welding, including shielding gas. We also supply a huge selection of welding electrodes and welding rods and welding electrode quivers and ovens to get the optimum performance out of your arc welding.
Technical advice and on-site demonstrations are available from all our sales centres around the UK. Full service and repair facilities are also available to provide rapid response to breakdowns.
If you have any queries or need help choosing the right arc welder for your application then please contact us and speak to one of our experts.
Before you start, you must ensure the arc welding machine is in good working condition and properly grounded using an earth clamp. You of course also need mains supply to your arc welder.
Clean the metal surface on the workpiece to remove any dirt, rust or contaminants using a wire brush or angle grinder. Secure the base material in a suitable position for welding using a welding clamp.
Choose the appropriate consumable electrodes (stick) based on the type of metal you are welding and your arc welder’s recommended settings. Then insert the electrode rod into the electrode holder and secure it tightly.
Set the right current (amperage) on the arc welding machine according to the electrode manufacturer’s recommendations. The current affects the weld’s quality and penetration. If you're using an arc welder with hot start technology, it should increase output current if the arc length becomes too short.

Stainless steel can be welded with the ARC/MMA or stick welding welding process. MMA (Manual Metal Arc) welding, also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is a type of welding process where an electric arc is generated between a consumable ele
