Every workshop is different, so rather than relying on general advice, it's worth getting your own set-up properly assessed. A system that works well for one shop can be quite wrong for another with different ventilation, floor space or process mix, and an on-torch extraction option, such as those available for Fronius torches, suits a different layout to a fixed overhead hood.
Getting the air supply, cutting capacity and portability right for your workshop is easier with some guidance up front, and that's the kind of buying question the team at arc welding machines are set up to help with.
A reliable, adequately sized compressed air supply is the part most first-time buyers underestimate. Undersized or contaminated air, whether from moisture, oil or an undersized compressor, is one of the most common causes of poor cut quality and shortened consumable life, so it's worth checking a machine's air requirements against what your compressor can actually deliver before you buy, not after.
The practical difference comes down to what a machine can draw and sustain. A single-phase supply has a ceiling on how much continuous power it can deliver before tripping breakers or overloading domestic wiring, which is why the highest-output welding and cutting fabrication equipment supplier is frequently three-phase only, or offers noticeably better duty cycle performance when run on three-phase. For workshops without an existing three-phase supply, bringing one in usually means an electrician and, in some cases, an application to the local distribution network operator.
A welding table is easy to overlook when planning a workshop, yet a poor one undermines accuracy on every job that touches it. If the surface isn't flat, nothing clamped or squared against it will be either, and small errors compound quickly on anything with multiple joints or angles.
The figure changes with output. Turn the amperage down and the duty cycle climbs, because the internal components are working less hard. This is why a welder can feel completely different in a busy production environment compared with occasional home workshop use: someone welding continuously through a shift needs a much higher duty cycle at their working amperage than someone doing short repair jobs a few times a week. It's the kind of spec worth comparing properly across brands such as Kemppi and EWM, not just reading off the headline amperage figure.
