It's never been easier to afford the equipment you need to grow your business.
Apply in just four minutes and get real approval in seconds - there's no hard credit pull and no documents are needed.

Benefits of Lease-to-Own Welders

A welding machine rental is great for short-term and long-term business needs. Welder leases and rentals let companies stay on top of the latest welding technology without draining their operating budget by paying upfront, in full for new machines. At the end of the lease period, you can either purchase the welding equipment outright or return it to WeldingMart. You can also buy the equipment anytime within the first year of your lease - see below for more details.

Welder rentals can also have tax benefits. In many cases, the payments you make when you lease or finance a welding machine for business or educational purposes are tax-deductible. This frees up even more resources to get the equipment, supplies and personnel that welding businesses need.

 

More Information

Welding machine financing is available 24/7 so you can apply whenever it's convenient for you. It will only take about four minutes of your time.

Once approved, you'll have the option to select the term that best fits your budget and, if approved for more than you request, our calculator makes it easy to see how your payments change for any additional items you add to your lease. eDocs are available immediately, allowing you to order your new gear within minutes.

Lincoln POWER MIG 256 MIG Factory Demo Welder - U3068-1

Compare to New POWER MIG 256 - K3068-1

Full 3 Year Warranty

The Lincoln POWER MIG 256 - U3068-1 is a professional-grade MIG welding system that establishes the benchmark for MIG and flux-cored welding performance in light industrial job shop fabrication, maintenance operations, and repair environments. Featuring Lincoln's innovative Diamond Core Technology™, this advanced welder delivers a remarkably forgiving arc with excellent out-of-position stability, minimal spatter production, and an expansive voltage sweet spot at any given wire feed speed—ensuring superior results whether working with steel, stainless steel, or aluminum materials. The comprehensive design approach combines industrial-grade components with user-focused features to create a welding platform that truly lives up to its designation as "The Professional's Choice℠."

The POWER MIG 256 incorporates Lincoln's premium MAXTRAC® cast aluminum industrial wire drive system, engineered for exceptional reliability and consistent performance in demanding production environments. This robust drive mechanism features precision dual driven rolls, regulated wire feed speed control, brass-to-brass electrical connections, and Lincoln's proprietary 100% wire supporting split wire guide system that virtually eliminates wire feeding issues. The intuitive digital meter display enhances operational precision by showing preset voltage and wire feed speed during setup, then automatically switching to display actual voltage during welding operations, providing critical real-time feedback for optimal weld quality control.

Designed with practical workflow considerations in mind, the POWER MIG 256 includes numerous productivity-enhancing features including the premium Magnum® PRO gun with an extended 15-foot cable for excellent workspace reach, Copper Plus® contact tips with increased diameter and mass for improved heat dissipation and extended service life, and full spool gun compatibility for specialized aluminum welding applications. The thoughtfully designed Coil Claw™ Cable Management system keeps workstations organized and prevents cable damage, while the convenient top-mounted gun expendables tray provides quick access to frequently replaced components. With its all-metal case front and 115V auxiliary power receptacle (on 208/230V models), this comprehensive welding solution delivers exceptional value and performance for professional welding operations.
