Stick welding machines from Welders Supply are ideal for auxiliary welding projects, at-home welding, and even first-time purchasers who want to buy a high-quality machine without going over budget. Because they are usually smaller, these machines are ideal for garage storage and are very portable for people without a welding facility or truck to move heavy equipment and projects.
Investing in a more costly welder probably entails paying for things you may not require. Because they have features designed for experienced welders, many of our higher-end machines are more costly. However, not all welders make welding their main source of income. Not every welder must depend on their equipment in order to do their duties and make a living. Furthermore, not every welder requires extremely adaptable equipment that can accommodate multiple welding techniques. If this describes you, it’s probably best to forego paying for all the things that professionals require on a daily basis.

Conclusion
Stick welding is the process of producing an electric arc between an electrode and a base material (two metals) using a power source.
At the point of contact where they are joined together, the metal components (rods, electrodes, metal sticks, and base material) are melted by the heat produced by the electric arc.
