Spec	Rebel EMP 215ic	TIG225X
Process	GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW (stick). Flux-cored wire is listed in the wire-diameter table. Source	AC/DC TIG and stick. The page tells the operator to use AC for aluminum and magnesium and DC for steel, stainless, and most other metals. Source
Output amp range	MIG setting range: 15 A / 14.75 V to 130 A / 20.5 V on 120 V, and to 235 A / 26.0 V on 230 V. TIG: 5 A to 130 A on 120 V and to 200 A on 230 V. Stick: 6 A to 130 A on 120 V and 16 A to 180 A on 230 V. Source	TIG 10–225 A. Stick 10–180 A. Source
Rated duty cycle	MIG, 230 V: 205 A / 24.25 V at 25% and 235 A / 26 V at 15%. MIG, 120 V, 20 A breaker: 130 A / 20.5 V at 20%. TIG, 230 V: 180 A / 17.2 V at 30%. Stick, 230 V: 180 A / 27.2 V at 25%. The table prints more duty points at 40%, 60%, and 100%. Source	TIG: 40% at max output, and 100% at 108 A on 120 V or 155 A on 240 V. Stick: 40% at max output, and 100% at 76 A on 120 V or 139 A on 240 V. Source
Input voltage and plug	120 V or 230 V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz, ±10%. Imax MIG: 20.8 A on a 15 A breaker and 28.6 A on a 20 A breaker at 120 V; 30 A at 230 V (27.6 A at 25% duty cycle). The installation guide’s maximum recommended time-delay fuse or breaker is 30 A, and the maximum normal fuse is 50 A, for both supply voltages. Input current at maximum output in that guide is 30 A. Source	120 V / 240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. Input amperes and a plug name are not in the specifications list. Source
Wire or rod size	Mild steel solid wire .023–.035 in. (0.6–0.9 mm). Stainless solid wire .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm). Flux-cored wire .030–.045 in. (0.8–1.1 mm). Aluminum .030–3/64 in. (0.8–1.2 mm). Spool size 4–8 in. Source	Not published by manufacturer Source
Weight	42 lb (19.1 kg). Dimensions 23 × 9 × 16 in. Source	41 lb (18.5 kg). Source
Material thickness	Not published by manufacturer Source	The page says it can weld materials up to 1/2 inch thick. Source
