| Spec | Syncrowave 212 | Rebel EMP 235ic |
|---|---|---|
| Process | AC/DC TIG (GTAW), pulsed DC TIG (GTAW-P), DC stick (SMAW), and MIG (GMAW) with a Spoolmate 150. | MIG, TIG, and stick. The wire table includes flux-cored diameters in the ordering copy: up to .052 in. cored wire. |
| Output amp range | AC/DC TIG: 20–210 A. DC stick: 30–200 A. MIG: 30–175 A. The specifications table narrows 120 V DC TIG to 20–140 A and 240 V DC stick to 35–160 A. | Current range 5–150 A on 120 V and 5–250 A on 230 V. Maximum output 250 A / 30 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | Quick specs lead with 130 A at 15.2 V, 60% duty cycle. The table adds, at 60%: 120 V DC TIG 110 A at 14.4 V, and 240 V DC stick 120 A at 24.8 V. It also prints 210 A at 20% and 120 A at 100% on the AC/DC TIG duty column, without tying those two lines to one voltage. | 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 | 120–240 V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz. Amps input at rated output in the table: 18.8 A for 120 V DC TIG and 11.8 A for 240 V DC TIG. The 240 V DC stick row prints 16.3 A. | 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 | 54 lb. (24.5 kg), air-cooled machine only. | Specifications table: 63 lb (28.6 kg). The same brochure’s introduction says “weighing in at 53 lbs. (24 kg).” |
| Material thickness | AC/DC TIG: 120 V, 20 gauge–1/8 in.; 240 V, 20 gauge–1/4 in. DC stick: 120 V, 16 gauge–3/16 in.; 240 V, 16 gauge–3/8 in. MIG spool gun: 120 V, 1/8 in.; 240 V, 1/8–3/8 in. The table does not name the metal. | Maximum plate thickness 1/2 in. (12.7 mm). |
