The artistry of Ironwood Motif

When we sell our welders we don't just stop at that. We like to know how and what they are being used for wherever possible so that we can learn from our customers about their real-life experiences with them. Ironwood Motif is a company based in France and owned and run by David Low, who has 20 years experience of metal fabrication & forging. He has worked creatively with wrought iron on large & small client commissions for indoors & outdoors in both the U.K. & in France and also fabricates unique sculptures using metal & stone, featuring mythical & imaginary creatures. Each piece is made to order & the craftsman brings together his own ideas with those of his clients to create unique commissions.

We've done it again - great buying and the ability to keep selling more and more machines has led to what is probably our best ever offer on our superb 240v AC/DC TIG Welders.
As if getting a top specification TIG with our cast-iron warranty wasn't enough we have now added a complete accessory pack to go with it . So with every new 240v AC/DC TIG you now get a FREE Foot Pedal, a FREE Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet, a FREE Flowmeter and a FREE pair of TIG welding gloves - worth over £200!

We usually make a point of saying that this is a limited offer but we really do mean it this time. There are only so many foot pedals and masks we can give away so when they are gone the offer stops - and I seriously doubt whether we can ever repeat it. This is a genuine offer for the same products you can buy off the website, not cheap alternatives. You would only ever need to add your gas and a filler rods to get welding. We are confident that this is the most comprehensive TIG package on offer anywhere in the UK.

Lightship restoraion project

It's rare that we come across such a big and complex restoration project like this but when a customer of ours told us what he was using his recently purchased Plasma Cutter for we jumped at the chance to feature his exploits in our Blog. If nothing else the sheer scale and unusual nature of this project makes for some fascinating reading.

Boxes and boxes everywhere!

At long last our new production run has arrived in our distribution centre after what has seemed like an eternity. That's the problem when you can't cope with demand - it doesn't matter how much forward planning or forecasting your buyers do there is no way of knowing how popular certain machines will be at any given time. This latest run of machines have been through our rigorous QC department and R&D and was only delayed due to the sheer volume of units we planned to make in this run - a real testament to our continued growth and success. We can't make welders and plasma cutters fast enough! Click the image to read more. The two most popular machines recently are the 160 Amp DC TIG and the 200 Amp DC TIG. Full details can be found by clicking the links. Even now we are busy forward planning demand for the next three manufacturing cycles - meaning our buyers have to source and buy components at the best prices and with the correct lead times for production.

Plasma Cutter Offer

As if our 40amp Plasma Cutter wasn't already a great piece of kit at a great price it's now even better value as we have trimmed off £50 from the normal selling price. Full specs are available here, but in a nutshell it's an industrial spec machine with a 12mm clean cut and a two year warranty. Just add a supply of compressed air and that's it! Be sure to check out our range of 240v Air Compressors too if you don't already have one.

If you've traditionally been used to cutting with Oxy/Acetylene equipment and have never used a Plasma Cutter before you're going to be furious that you have taken so long to realise how fast, efficient and effortless it is to cut metal with a plasma cutter. Of course ours is better than most (naturally!) so that's why you should buy one. Seriously though, shop around by all means but beware of cheap imported units. You get what you pay for and it's no different when buying a plasma cutter.

Free Foot Pedal Offer

We've talked about doing this for months but for some reason the MD got a bit jittery at the thought of giving a three figure some of money away with a TIG Welder. Finally though he has seen sense and we have now launched our best ever TIG promotion. For a strictly limited time (until all the pedals have gone actually) we are giving away our Pro Foot Pedal (worth £139 EX VAT) with each AC/DC 240v TIG Welder bought from our website. That's it, free, gratis, zero, zilch.

Foot pedals are a great addition to any TIG Welder, especially where amperage adjustment and control are important. It gives you the flexibility to go from base current to any preset amperage you choose just by moving your foot backwards and forwards. This means that you can tackle complicated or tricky welds without having to stop, put the torch down, adjust the machine then start welding again - you can seamlessly weld in a continuous run and make adjustments without stopping when you use a foot pedal.
