    Getting the thing through customs is going to be your biggest issue. You can't just ship industrial equipment the same way you ship a pair of pants.

    Surely there are good welders in Europe. Besides the one in the US is probably made in China. Try to find out who the Chinese manufacturer is and buy it directly from China.
