Your reviews are awesome, I have the AC DC 205 all of it we do a lot of aluminum handrails for condominiums and repairs it’s easy I can carry it out in the field it’s an awesome machine I have Welder with some of the Lincoln‘s and Miller’s bigger machines this one out welds them ,,
It always kills me how much more stuff you guys get in the US from ESAB… we don’t even get the pedal included in Europe (230€ extra purchase). Even less, the regulator et al. 😕
Hey, simple we do not recommend Everlast. We are a full service center and working on / repairing an Everlast is really going to be hard to find. If you purchase Miller/Lincoln/ESAB you are going to have warranty coverage and support.
I’m having issues getting the shielding gas to the work piece. All the connections appear to be on. Regulator on. CFH set to 25. Ground is on. 75/25. 18V @ 200A. .030 E70S-6. TWECO 180 torch.
Hi, i have a problem with my 205 is, i have to push the tig pedal multiple times before it starts , screen says "set amplitude " do you have any ideas ? Tks Dave..
Does the Rebel 205 have a forced arc feature which would temporarily increase the amperage when beginning a stick weld and avoid the rod from sticking?
I was told the same thing multiple times. I was told a customer fried 2 machines because he had longer leads. To me it didn't make sense. It doesn't make sense to take this into the field if you can only get as far as 12' feet from the unit. I have only been able to use this unit 10 times I'm the last 2 years. Restricted at 12' feet. Can't even go into a mixing tank or vessel. The leads won't reach. It's useless as far as field aspect. It's a good home use machine.
Just FYI it’s the same per Miller on the 220! They did not recommend extending the leads and told me if that was done and they knew it they would not cover it under warranty!
You can but they say you run into problems. The smart mig feature will start to struggle. Can possibly harm the unit. I tried ordering linger leads and I was told that the machine comes with the longest possible leads. That's kinda horrible in my opinion.
@@thisdj83 what about running the appropriate gauge extensions cords , how does this 205ic Rebel perform ? I have read reviews about the Fronius transsteel 2200 being able to run up to 330 feet on the appropriate size gauge extension cords & breaker .
Just wandered to thank you for making theses videos! I would love to see one with this machine on 120v. As well as run on a generator on either voltage. Thanks again!
I'm always confused about amps these machines can be set to and the size of breakers... I keep seeing that a 50amp breaker is recommended. Anyone want to splane this to me?
It’s #17 tig torch…. Get a multi pack for a #17 torch and use the one that fits I run the stubby setup on mine there’s tons of those white spacers available go to the CK site and look at the pictures of them there called insulators or heatshields
Does anybody know what kind of problems the machine had since it been out I do alot of different work if I'm going to spend the money for this machine it better be worth it I don't need to get to a job and the machine brakes down on the job so if anyone can give me info I would appreciate it
The main problem is you can't run any leads longer than what comes with the machine. It will harm the units according to ESAB. Hard to call it a field machine if you can't go past 12' feet.
Will it handle .035" dual-shield (C25 or CO2)? I realize I would have to figure out my own settings, polarity, etc., since (I'm guessing) the instructions don't cover this process. Similarly, though you only mention E6010, 6011, 6013, and 7018 stick rods, surely I could use E7014, hardface rod, build-up rod, and so forth as long as I use smaller diameters appropriate to the amperage limit of this small machine, right?
@@thisdj83 You can’t on the Miller either so not sure what the difference would be! That’s Per Miller! They do not recommend extending the leads and told me if a customer did and they know it they will not cover it under warranty when it caused any failures!
Sound quality is bad. And like my wife, he tends to go up and down in voice level. Knowledgeable guy, but I wish he'd use some kind of script to stay a bit more organized.
Here’s a real world update! ESAB now builds and sells junk! I wanted to love the 205ic I bought brand new from cyber weld (which btw is great to do business with also) but this welder has been nothing less than junk, just like may other units they make! I’m on esab group on fb and owners are constantly having issues! The even bigger kick in the throat is ESAB has TERRIBLE Customer Service and support! I think they have very few employees in that department and they all are rude ass holes! I’ll never buy another Esab product! It’s Miller, HTP, Lincoln, Fronius or even a dang Everlast for me!
I’ve see a new model here in Europe, Esab rogue emp 210 pro, it’s multifunction machine. I have been looking for feedback about the quality of their products. Your comment confirm me all the bad stuff I’ve read from them, seems the purchase of the company by a big investments found and the move of the production factories to cheaper countries has kill the brand. Definitely I will going to buy a Lincoln Speedtec.
So I have this machine. and I've welded some thick cast intake runners to the a plenum that is was about a .125 wall. I was maxed out but it did it with no preheat running pure argon.
I have this machine at work it’s a beautiful machine , I love it

Your reviews are the best for sure. But the shipping speed is phenomenal. Prices are unbeatable. Praxair who?
Hey Glen! Thank you for watching and for your support we really appreciate it!
Anytime. Thank you for the best online service I've ever experienced, that's literally speaking.
It always kills me how much more stuff you guys get in the US from ESAB… we don’t even get the pedal included in Europe (230€ extra purchase). Even less, the regulator et al. 😕
I would like to see you do an objective comparison of the ESAB vs Everlast
Hey, simple we do not recommend Everlast. We are a full service center and working on / repairing an Everlast is really going to be hard to find. If you purchase Miller/Lincoln/ESAB you are going to have warranty coverage and support.
PLEASE mention how you won't be able to extend leads because the machine wont handle it.
Can I use my own scratch to start tig rig on this machine I’m still debating between this and the multimatic220
I’m having issues getting the shielding gas to the work piece. All the connections appear to be on. Regulator on. CFH set to 25. Ground is on. 75/25. 18V @ 200A. .030 E70S-6. TWECO 180 torch.
Hi, late arrival.. Does the smartMIG function properly although the mig gun isn’t ESAB?!..
Isn't it TWECO, owned by ESAB?
why does it have a cooling fan so loud that you can’t even hear what the person says, this is a huge minus
Hi, i have a problem with my 205 is, i have to push the tig pedal multiple times before it starts , screen says "set amplitude " do you have any ideas ? Tks
Dave..
Does the Rebel 205 have a forced arc feature which would temporarily increase the amperage when beginning a stick weld and avoid the rod from sticking?
Hot start feature? Yes it does
Where is this machine made ?
Hey, currently made in India. They design/engineer from Denton TX.
Is high frequency start only for DC?
Does the smart mig only run when your using shelding gas and solid wire or can you use the smart mig to run just flux core ?
Has anyone extended the leads on this machine? I was told by ESAB that 12' is the max for the inverter... cant find anything online about it.
I was told the same thing multiple times. I was told a customer fried 2 machines because he had longer leads. To me it didn't make sense.

What’s the duty cycle on 115/230?
(Edit: Say maxed out on every process, and 80% of max…)
Are you able to hook up a 15ft mig lead to this machine really want one but don’t wanna get it if I can’t get a 15ft lead
You can but they say you run into problems. The smart mig feature will start to struggle. Can possibly harm the unit. I tried ordering linger leads and I was told that the machine comes with the longest possible leads. That's kinda horrible in my opinion.

@@faronf2006 The electronics in the rebel is super sensitive. I wouldn't risk it.
Will this machine weld pipe good on tig mode
Max A/C amps 130? Pretty much limited to 1/8" material. Any increase when 230v supply?
Check the specifications sheet, 205 Amp on high voltage, I believe.
Plugged into 220v you can adjust A/C amps to 205. He was plugged into 120v in this video.
Just wandered to thank you for making theses videos! I would love to see one with this machine on 120v. As well as run on a generator on either voltage. Thanks again!
Great suggestion! We will try to show both power connections next time. It does run great on 110. Let us know if you have any other questions.
@@BakersGas You certainly have left a LOT of questions unanswered, wondering why?
Does that unit do pulse mig
No mate
I'm always confused about amps these machines can be set to and the size of breakers... I keep seeing that a 50amp breaker is recommended. Anyone want to splane this to me?
This machine doesn't require as much amperage as others. 30 amps should be fine
how do you find a white gasket spacer for a gas lense? I can't find one that works and I've bought a few.
It’s #17 tig torch…. Get a multi pack for a #17 torch and use the one that fits I run the stubby setup on mine there’s tons of those white spacers available go to the CK site and look at the pictures of them there called insulators or heatshields

Do you have to remove the mig gun to do Tig???
No mate
is the fan always on? or does it shut off depends on demand?
I have the same. It will turn on when you start using it. It will then shut down when it is cooled enough.
@@RileyPorter does it stay on even if u r lightly using it.
@@alamray If you use it for more than 20 - 30 seconds it will kick on. Then stay on for a bit then shut down.
Yes it's fan on demand but soon comes on
Will it handle .035" dual-shield (C25 or CO2)? I realize I would have to figure out my own settings, polarity, etc., since (I'm guessing) the instructions don't cover this process.

Can you ship to Australia.

How you do ac tig without the foot pedal??
AFAIK you cannot., He's using the foot pedal you just cannot see it.
By using 4t , I always teach tig without pedal as not essential

Rebel or Multimatic 220?
They are both solid units. Message or call us an we can figure out which is best for you!
What did you buy?
Multimaic. You can't use leads longer than what comes with the ESAB. Good home machine tho.
@@thisdj83
You can’t on the Miller either so not sure what the difference would be! That’s Per Miller! They do not recommend extending the leads and told me if a customer did and they know it they will not cover it under warranty when it caused any failures!
Es 220 y 110
No pratic, low adjust!!
sorta unformated ,but you go to fast the comprehend the menu an uses on each discipline,
Sound quality is bad. And like my wife, he tends to go up and down in voice level. Knowledgeable guy, but I wish he'd use some kind of script to stay a bit more organized.
Poor sound.
I seen other videos but can’t this machine to welding with aluminum and steel
Yes

Yea they do. Esab prices go way up, but the quality goes way down. The price on the 205 has gone up $1100 in the last year.

Does the sMIG work for dual shield?
No it doesn’t. Just mig
How thick material can you weld aluminum?
