Germany
The catalogue brand of German welding — broad, cheap and everywhere
Breadth and value. STAHLWERK sells a machine at almost every price point on this site, and the specifications are usually fuller than rivals at the same price — the CUT 50 P publishes three cut thicknesses by material where competitors publish none, and the MIG/MAG 160 M publishes a current range starting at 20 A rather than only a ceiling.
Duty cycle. Almost no STAHLWERK listing on this site states a duty cycle at a stated temperature, which is the figure that turns a maximum current into a working one. Their machines also appear under several near-identical listings — we found two live references for the same MIG/MAG 160 M at €80 apart, and four TIG references live on five markets with no price at all.
That the reference you are looking at is actually offered, and not simply listed. On this site every product was verified per market, and the STAHLWERK range is where that check most often changed the outcome.
160 A · gasless only · 3-in-1 · €200
A gasless-only machine, on purpose: no bottle, no regulator, no shielding to be blown away — for people who weld outdoors.
Best for: Gates, trailers, fence posts and anything welded where you cannot close a door
≈ 200 €
20–160 A · 4-in-1 · 6.8 kg · €220
Four processes in a 6.8 kg case, and the only machine here whose lower limit — 20 A — is published as well as its ceiling.
Best for: A small workshop that wants one box for occasional stick, TIG and MIG work
≈ 220 €
200 A · synergic · gas and gasless · €330
The synergic 200 A inverter that most German workshops end up with, and the cheapest machine here with a genuinely adjustable inductance.
Best for: A first serious MIG that will still be adequate after two years of use
≈ 330 €
