MIG or TIG? Ask that in most workshops and you’ll get a strong opinion. The honest answer is that it depends on the work.

Part 2 of Know Your Machine covers the Kemppi Master M and Master T.
Swipe through for:

1. Master M or Master T: speed or finish
2. When to use MIG, TIG or stick
3. Which of the six models suits your power supply and your work
4. DC vs AC TIG setup for steel, stainless and aluminium
5. Filler, tungsten and gas pairings, plus tungsten sizing
6. The habits worth breaking
Save it for the workshop, or send us a message with what you’re welding and we’ll help you choose the setup.

Most “machine faults” we get called out for aren’t faults at all. They’re setup.

Know Your Machine is our new series on getting the most out of the equipment you weld with every day.

First up is the Kemppi X3 and X5 FastMig.

Swipe through for:

1. X3 or X5: which suits your work
2. Short circuit, spray and pulse, and when each matters
3. An eight-step setup checklist
4. Wire and gas pairings for steel, stainless, aluminium and galv
5. What we see on the service bench, and what to do instead
6. A maintenance schedule that keeps a FastMig earning

Save it for your next setup, or send us a message with what you’re running and we’ll help you dial it in.

Starting Monday: Know Your Machine.

Buying a welder is one decision. Getting the best out of it for the next ten years is another.

Over the coming weeks, we’re working through the brands we supply, one range at a time. Each instalment covers:

1. Which machine suits which work, and why
2. Correct setup, including polarity, gas, drive rolls and starting parameters
3. Wire and consumable selection by material and thickness
4. Common mistakes and how to avoid them
5. Maintenance that keeps the machine performing

First up, one of the most popular ranges on our floor. Follow along so you don’t miss it.

Been putting off that equipment upgrade?

Our finance offer is still on, and it covers machine packages across all our brands, plus fume extraction and safety gear.

Tell us what you’re welding and what your budget looks like, and we’ll put together a package that actually fits. Spread the cost and get the right gear working for you now.

Call 07 3399 6199 or email [email protected].

*Finance by Best Equipment Finance, subject to approval. ABN 2+ yrs and GST registration required. $500 establishment fee. QWS is not a registered credit provider*

From 1 December 2026, Australia’s workplace exposure rules change — and welding fume is on the list.

If your extraction was set up years ago, it’s worth a look. A few things that catch workshops out: general ventilation isn’t the same as capturing fume at the source, and a unit rated for mild steel fume isn’t automatically certified for stainless.

QWS is now an authorised Kemper distributor, so we can cover everything from a mobile unit that rolls to the job through to continuous-duty wall systems and air quality monitoring — plus Weldmax FumeVault, Lincoln and on-torch extraction.

Not sure what you need? That’s what we’re here for.

Fortis Welding Demo Day – that's a wrap

Thanks to everyone who came down to Brendale yesterday for our exclusive Fortis Welding Demo Day with Fronius and SMENCO.

It was a great chance to see the full Fortis range set up and running side by side – from the 270 through to the 500 – along with Kemper fume extraction integrated right at the welding station.

Nothing beats getting hands-on with the machines and talking through real applications with the people who know them inside and out.

Big thanks to the Fronius and SMENCO teams for sharing their expertise and making the day happen.

Didn't make it along, or want to see the range for yourself?

Get in touch and we'll set up a time: 07 3399 6199 | [email protected]

Still running an older machine because a full upgrade is hard to fund in one hit?

It doesn't have to be all or nothing anymore.

QWS now offers finance on capital equipment across every brand we stock, including welding machines, complete packages, plasma cutting and fume extraction. That means we can recommend the setup that genuinely fits your work, then structure it to fit your budget.

Why upgrade now?

- Productivity. Modern inverter and pulse machines deliver cleaner welds, faster setup and less rework.
- Running costs. Better efficiency, less spatter and fewer consumables.
- Compliance. Fume extraction helps you get ahead of Australia's tighter welding fume exposure limits.
- Cash flow. Weekly repayments let the equipment pay its way while it works.

Here's what a potential deal could look like in real numbers: a Fronius Fortis 270i Pulse package with 4 annual services comes to $10,420 + GST, or about $51/week including finance interest.

Every finance package includes delivery to your workshop, on-site training by QWS, and scheduled servicing at our Brisbane workshop.

Applying is simple. Contact us for a quote then download the application form, fill it in on screen and email it back. Then wait to hear back. That's it.

Thinking about upgrading your MIG setup? Come and try the Fronius Fortis before you decide.

Fronius Fortis Demo Day

📅 Wednesday 7 October, 1–4pm 📍 2/25 Kingsbury St, Brendale

There's only so much you can learn from a spec sheet. This afternoon is about getting under the hood and seeing how the Fortis performs on real work.

What to expect:

1. Hands-on welding. Strike an arc on the Fortis 270i Pulse and feel the difference pulse makes in arc control, spatter and finish.
2. Live demonstrations. See the machine's welding programs and settings in action, and how quickly operators can go from setup to a quality weld.
3. Application advice. Talk through your materials, joint types and production challenges with the SMENCO and QWS teams, and find out whether the Fortis suits your workshop.
4. Setup and support. Meet the team that will be on hand to assist you with any after sales service, training & support you need!

Who should come: fabrication shop owners, workshop managers, leading hands, and anyone who wants to see how a modern pulse MIG compares with the machine they're running now.

The session runs 1–4pm, so drop in whenever suits. RSVP so we can make sure there's enough time on the machines for everyone.

Heads up! We're closed this Monday 5 October for the King's Birthday public holiday.

Need consumables, gas or parts for the weekend? Come and see us at Bulimba or give us a call before Friday close.

We'll be back to our usual trading hours from Tuesday 6 October. Enjoy the long weekend and stay safe!

Ask five fabricators what the best welder is and you'll get five different answers. They're all right, because the best machine depends on the work in front of you.

A structural shop running long production welds needs something different from a site crew or a maintenance workshop. Budgets vary just as much.

That's why QWS doesn't push one brand. We match the equipment to the job:

1. Production MIG and pulse: Fronius and Kemppi, for shops where arc-on time and weld quality drive the bottom line
2. Heavy fabrication and site work: Lincoln Electric, from pipe and structural packages to engine drives
3. Cutting and gouging: Hypertherm Powermax plasma systems
4. Fume control and operator protection: Weldclass, ABICOR BINZEL and 3M Speedglas
5. Reliable value: Weldmax, for when the job calls for solid performance at a sharper price

Every conversation starts the same way: what you weld, how much, where, and what makes sense for your business. The package follows from that.

This week we're looking at the equipment our customers rely on most, and on later this week we'll share something that makes the upgrade you've been putting off a lot easier to justify.
