Welding Equipment And Industrial Supplies Financing

Welding Mart has partnered with Clicklease to provide industry-leading welding equipment for a low monthly payment customized to fit your budget. Our welder financing services allow professionals to outfit their shop with the right welding machines and systems to serve customers. Whether you need a new MIG welder, a rental TIG welder, a virtual welding training simulator or something else, rent-to-own welders from leading brands such as Lincoln Electric and Miller are a great solution.

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 Welder - 208/230 Volt, Single Phase, 60 Hz - K3068-1

The Lincoln POWER MIG 256 MIG Welder - K3068-1 sets the benchmark for professional MIG and flux-cored welding in light industrial job shops, fabrication facilities, maintenance operations, and repair environments. Engineered with Diamond Core Technology™, this powerhouse delivers a forgiving arc with exceptional out-of-position performance, reduced spatter, and a wide voltage sweet spot for steel, stainless steel, or aluminum welding.

Featuring the industrial-grade MAXTRAC® cast aluminum wire drive system with dual-driven rolls, precision wire feed speed control, and brass-to-brass connections, the POWER MIG 256 ensures exceptional reliability and longevity. The intuitive digital meters make setup effortless by displaying preset voltage and wire feed speed, while also providing real-time feedback during welding operations for superior weld quality control.

Equipped with the newly designed Magnum® PRO 15 ft. (4.5 m) gun and cable, and durable Copper Plus® contact tips that improve heat dissipation and extend consumable life, this machine boosts efficiency and reduces downtime. The spool gun-ready design supports the premium Magnum® 250LX or Magnum® SG (adapter required) for specialized aluminum welding needs. Additional enhancements include the Coil Claw™ Cable Management system to maintain organized workspaces, a convenient top-mounted expendables tray for easy access to consumables, and a rugged all-metal case front for industrial durability. A 115V auxiliary receptacle further expands functionality by powering grinders or other essential tools directly from the welder.

Key Features

    • Diamond Core Technology™ delivers a stable, low-spatter arc for superior welding performance.
    • MAXTRAC® cast aluminum wire drive system with dual-driven rolls for consistent and reliable feeding.
    • Precision digital meters display preset voltage and wire feed speed during setup, switching to real-time welding voltage display during operation.
    • Extended reach Magnum® PRO gun with a 15-foot cable for maximum workspace accessibility.
    • Copper Plus® contact tips provide larger mass and improved heat dissipation for longer consumable life.
    • Spool gun ready for Magnum® 250LX or Magnum® SG (adapter required) for aluminum welding applications.
    • 115V auxiliary receptacle powers grinders or peripheral equipment in the welding area.
    • Coil Claw™ Cable Management system keeps workstations neat and reduces cable wear.
    • Top-mounted expendables tray offers convenient access to frequently replaced components.
