What is a Shop Soiled R-Tech Welding Machine?
So you're in the market for a new welding machine and you've noticed that we have a machine listed as "shop soiled."
You may find yourself wondering, what is a shop soiled R-Tech welding machine?



"Before being placed on the shelf for ready for a customer to purchase, every R-Tech Machine is tested and inspected by our quality control team.
Our quality control engineer conducts a comprehensive weld/cut test on each machine, thoroughly checking every setting to ensure proper functionality."

After the weld/cut test, the engineer will also conduct a full visual inspection of the machine's exterior, including the chassis and case, to check for any imperfections. If the engineer finds any minor imperfections, such as a small paint scratch or bumper scuff, instead of fitting a new case on the machine and selling it as new, the engineer will mark it as "shop soiled" and discount it from the usual RRP.

Every Shop-Soiled Machine we sell is still an unused, brand new unit, complete with all the accessories that you would expect a new machine to come with.
In addition, we also include our class-leading, no-quibble, collect-and-return 5 year warranty.


If you are interested in our shop soiled Machines, check out our Special Offers page for available Machines.
You'll have to act quick though because these Machines sell out fast!
