Welding Machine Selection Guide — UAE
Match the machine to three things: the metal, the power supply, and the daily workload. Every recommendation below is a machine held in UAE stock, at its real AED price (VAT inclusive), serviced in Dubai.
Step 1 — The metal decides the process
| Metal you weld most | Process required |
|---|---|
| Steel, rebar, structural sections | MMA (stick) |
| Aluminium or polished stainless | AC/DC TIG |
| Thin sheet, auto body, production runs | MIG / MAG |
