Step 1
New part or application: send your parts for a free micro-weld evaluation. Ask our team about current evaluation turnaround and the recommended date to send your parts.
Same parts, more capacity: skip the evaluation and request a quote.
Step 2
Financed equipment may qualify for Section 179. Ask our team about pricing and current lead times, and leave time for delivery and setup.
Step 3
"Placed in service" means installed and ready for use, not just ordered or paid for. Your tax advisor claims it on IRS Form 4562.
Start from a system or enter your quoted price, then pick your federal tax rate.
Pass-through businesses (most LLCs, S corporations and sole proprietors): the deduction flows to the owners, so use the owner's bracket.
Illustration assumes 100% qualifying business use and enough taxable business income and remaining deduction allowance. Annual limits and phase-out apply. Excludes financing costs, fees, state taxes and other tax interactions. Not a quote or tax advice.
Enter a price from $0 to $2,560,000. This illustration does not calculate your eligibility or remaining annual deduction allowance.
Either way, we'll confirm the lead time so you know whether your system can be installed by December 31.
Send us your parts, even if you already run a Sunstone welder. We'll weld them as a proof of concept, recommend a system and configuration, and confirm the lead time. Ask our team about current turnaround and when to send your parts.
Need another system for parts you already weld with Sunstone? Skip the evaluation. We'll send pricing and lead time, and you can ask about financing.

The IRS says equipment is placed in service when it's ready and available for its specific use. For a welding system, that means installed and ready to run by December 31, even if production hasn't started. Ordered, paid for, or still in the crate doesn't count.
Purchased equipment can qualify even when financed. Lease treatment depends on tax ownership and contract terms; a lease label alone does not establish eligibility. Have your tax advisor review the agreement.
Purchased used equipment can qualify if it meets Section 179 requirements. Related-party purchases and certain other acquisitions are excluded. Ask your tax advisor to confirm eligibility.
The Section 179 deduction is limited by taxable income from active trades or businesses. Amounts disallowed by that income limit may carry forward. Ask your advisor whether bonus depreciation is appropriate.
For tax years beginning in 2026, the maximum deduction is $2,560,000. It is reduced dollar for dollar when qualifying property placed in service exceeds $4,090,000. Business-use and taxable-income limits also apply.
General information, not tax advice. Confirm eligibility with your tax advisor. December 31 timing assumes a calendar tax year. Equipment generally must be used more than 50% for business; the deduction reflects qualifying business use.
