The cost of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) equipment can vary widely depending on the brand and specifications. A basic SMAW machine can range from $300 to $1,500, while more advanced models can cost upwards of $2,000. Additionally, consumables such as electrodes and protective gear will add to the overall expenses. Overall, a complete setup, including necessary accessories, may cost between $500 and $3,000.
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
The minimum thickness for SMAW welding is about 18 ga. with a steady hand.
Advantage of smaw :*equipment is relatively inexpensive Equipment is portable because the welding machine can be powered with gasoline or diesel powered w/ engines.
