| Spec | Power MIG 260 | Rebel EMP 235ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG and flux-cored. | MIG, TIG, and stick. The wire table includes flux-cored diameters in the ordering copy: up to .052 in. cored wire. |
| Output amp range | 30–300 A. Wire feed speed 50–700 ipm (1.3–17.7 m/min). | Current range 5–150 A on 120 V and 5–250 A on 230 V. Maximum output 250 A / 30 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | 250 A / 26.5 V / 40%. | At 104°F (40°C): MIG 120 A / 19 V at 40% on 120 V and 235 A / 26 V at 40% on 230 V. Stick 90 A / 23.6 V at 40% on 120 V and 210 A / 28.4 V at 25% on 230 V. TIG 130 A / 15.2 V at 40% on 120 V and 240 A / 19.6 V at 40% on 230 V. |
| Input voltage and plug | 208/230/460/575 V, 1-phase, 60 Hz. Input current at rated output: 59/55/27/21 A in that voltage order. The 230 V figure is 55 A. This check treats that 230 V figure as the 240 V outlet class. | Primary voltage 120 VAC and 208/230 VAC, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz. Supply range 90–270 VAC. Supply plug 230 V, NEMA 6-50P. A separate accessory is a 230 V to 120 V, 15 A power adapter (W4014000). Input amperes are not in the specifications table. |
| Wire or rod size | Not published by manufacturer | Mild steel .023–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm). Stainless .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm). Aluminum .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). The introduction also says up to .045 in. solid wire, up to .052 in. cored wire, rods up to 5/32 in., and TIG rods up to 3/16 in. Spools 4, 8, and 12 in. |
| Weight | 247 lb (112 kg). Dimensions 37.3 x 18 x 40.4 in. | Specifications table: 63 lb (28.6 kg). The same brochure’s introduction says “weighing in at 53 lbs. (24 kg).” |
| Material thickness | Not published by manufacturer | Maximum plate thickness 1/2 in. (12.7 mm). |
