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.

The Lincoln IDEALARC DC-400 - K1308-12 is a heavy-duty, industrial three-phase multi-process power source, delivering 400 amps of DC power for versatile welding applications. Ideal for MIG, flux-cored, submerged-arc welding, as well as stick and DC TIG welding, this machine is also excellent for arc gouging. Despite its flexibility, the DC-400 is simple to set up and use, making it a great choice for a wide range of welding jobs.

With the factory- or field-installed multi-process switch, changing between processes is effortless, allowing you to switch between CC (Stick/TIG/arc gouging), CV (MIG/flux-cored), and CV submerged-arc modes with ease. The onboard ammeter and voltmeter allow for easy monitoring of key welding parameters, while inductance and arc-force controls help refine the arc for different tasks. This welder is designed for demanding, repetitive welding applications, with solid-state circuitry providing extended life.

The DC-400 is backed by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and offers various optional accessories, including undercarriages, remote output controls, and deluxe adjustable gas regulator and hose kits, making it a complete solution for your welding needs.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Process Versatility – Capable of CC (Stick/TIG/arc gouging), CV (MIG/flux-cored), and CV submerged-arc modes, with easy changeover using the multi-process switch.
  • Arc Force Control – Adjusts short circuit current for a soft or forceful arc in stick and TIG modes.
  • Arc Control Adjustment – Modifies the pinch effect to control spatter, fluidity, and bead shape in MIG/flux-cored modes.
  • High-Performance Welding – Ideal for stick and DC TIG welding, as well as air carbon arc gouging with up to 5/16" (8mm) carbon rods.
  • Solid-State Circuitry – Provides extra-long life for repetitive welding applications.
  • Full-Output Control – Single-range potentiometer for precise output control.
  • Monitoring – Analog ammeter and voltmeter for easy monitoring of welding parameters.
  • Input Voltage Compensation – ±10% compensation to maintain weld consistency.
  • Low-Profile Design – Allows stacking of machines up to three high to conserve floor space (stacking not recommended with undercarriage).
