Im glad you got to try this machine out. I was going to buy a new machine and was looking at the 235 EMC. The Esab rep was in the store that day and told me that this was coming out and that I should wait for it. Thanks Bob for the demo. Would love to come out to the college and play with it for a few minutes. Would like to see how it does on thin aluminum.
I've been waiting for this machine to come out for a year now. I held off on the 215 so I could get this for the AC Tig. Can't wait till it launches next year.
I have been holding out for this for way too long! I have a caddy 2200i TA34 tig and a caddy c200i mig and would like it all in one box for site work. I'm gonna be inline tomorrow to try it out. Hopefully it's as good or better than the 2200i in ac tig mode. If it is I will be selling my backup machines, buying one of these and sitting the 2 caddy's in the closet as the backup machines. I'm so glad I can get ESAB machines in the USA! I grew up in europe and learnt on ESAB machines. I shipped my old smashweld 185 over with me when i emigrated and it was a great machine and was still going strong when i sold it on. Forget your miller blue and lincon red I'm on the yellow team..... well green too I have a TD cutmaster 52 also :-)
Was almost talked into buying the 215 & literally minutes before buying I seen an online advertisement for this but it wasn't available yet.... Decided to hold out until reviews came in..... Still can't believe the dealer tried talking me into the 215 even after saying i would rather wait for this
I had the same thing with a vendor in Merced ,CA , ESAB promised the 205i last quarter and last year, I don't know if this is available now, I'm really gun shy from EASB,
You need to run ac current to weld aluminum, DC will not work for aluminum. If the sheet metal is steel then use DC, if aluminum use AC. Most tig machine have only DC capabilities, so it's cool to have both
Sweet! I repaired an alternator welder once, it was amazing, it was singing around 3 khz. Smoothest welds ever. Wound up getting the inventor involved, and he never could figure out what I did to make it run so well. I was hoping that the ESAB ran a higher frequency, but that was very nice work.
Scott Hall the Miller tho has no ac pulse, up slope , down slope and balance is only 50-70 and it has 20% duty. Doesn’t look like it was built for ac. Just quick ac repairs.
It would be nice to have a true all in one welder. But I can not complain about our Lincoln tig 185. Well. I could get nit picky about it but I won't. Could use a few more settings but it is old and welds amazing for what it is.
Hi, Bob. I'm strictly a hobbyist welder, but I try to soak up all I can about different processes. Maybe I've missed something simple, but what is the point of using different frequencies? Looking at the welds, I couldn't tell the difference between the ones done at 25hz and those done at 400. Do different applications call for different frequencies? Thanks.
The lower hertz give a wider arc and better penetration, good for thicker stuff. Higher hertz gives a narrowed arc with less penetration good for thinner stuff.
All that steel makes you loose a step with aluminum sometimes. What’s the Tig duty cycle? The miller is 20% no pulse hrz or slopes. This seems to be better
I learn welding in school nearly 18 years ago. I didn't weld much since but now I want to get back to welding. Is this good machine for beginner to learn ?
Probably like alot of companies they dont want to put all the tech into one machine or you would not buy the next one they bring out, when they bring it out with it. like dangling the carrot .
I am after a good welder, came across Esab welders which i found were made in Sweden which i know make excellent welders, but found out it was bought out by an American company, so does that mean that the Esab reputation and brand name will be trashed and will be another piece of equipment made of cheap chinese junk?
actorzone I went to fabtech and welded with the new 205 it’s just as good as my older machines and better in some respects. Esab is a great company I have several of their machines and they have always been excellent.
@@weldchip The EM 215 would suit me as i only use the Mig Function as i have never welded aluminium or TIG welded, the EMP 215 costs about $2350 in Australia, the suppliers don't have the EM on their books as it would have to be imported in, the 205 has this high frequency function so does that improve the TIG welds, we have 240 volts ac here so i can use its full potential. I only have a Lincoln 170p which has been very reliable.
Honestly, The long term quality and dependability is NOT there. I have had failures on about 50 percent of the 205's i have sold since they came out. For the price, i expect better quality. I have been in Welding sales for over 20 years, and this is one of the worst "New products" to be dumped on the consumer. When it works it is great, but depend on it. Thats my 2 cents on this machine.
Does ESAB give you this equipment, because these are promotions for their products. Do they donate equipment to the school? Just trying to figure out the deal with ESAB and your/school.
I have 215 emp, board fried, been waiting for 3 mos to get it back. I asked esab about this welder 3 mos ago, and the main tech support dude said that this welder is a gimmick! They put it together to fuck with people!!! I said, whaaa, yep fake news brothers. Don't get your hopes up.

they ESAB said at SEMA 2017 it would be out in summer 2018 , never happened, we went a Miller machine,

BootsInShoes same boat
I have grown to love Bob's sense of humor tied into these videos.

well ,??? did you ??
Man that sound. I would have to have some serious ear plugs running above 90Hz. But cool machine, thanks for the video.
Cool video, I'll be trying those settings on my machine 😁👍
Great Demo Mr. Moffatt. Keep up the great videos
Hi mr Bob your a grate welder I love to weld to been out of it for while I repair cranes. Miss it a lot.
How do you know he welds grates?
So the question I have would you suggest the 205 Over having to separate tag and a mig welders for a novice. Mostly going to be used at home
Was almost talked into buying the 215 & literally minutes before buying I seen an online advertisement for this but it wasn't available yet.... Decided to hold out until reviews came in..... Still can't believe the dealer tried talking me into the 215 even after saying i would rather wait for this

Awesome video great welding skills bob🔥👍👍
When are you going to get your hands on the Miller Multimatic 220.
wow nice machine
why or what is dc tig vs ac tig ? ac better for aluminum ? which is best for replacing muscle car sheet metal ?
You need to run ac current to weld aluminum, DC will not work for aluminum. If the sheet metal is steel then use DC, if aluminum use AC. Most tig machine have only DC capabilities, so it's cool to have both
So ? After all that, what was the optimum setting ?
The smell test works every time !!!
Sweet! I repaired an alternator welder once, it was amazing, it was singing around 3 khz. Smoothest welds ever. Wound up getting the inventor involved, and he never could figure out what I did to make it run so well. I was hoping that the ESAB ran a higher frequency, but that was very nice work.
Ear bashing ?
what is the diff between 25hz and 400 hz for what he was doing other than noise?
U good teacher i like your job
Really nice machine.
Damn thats a nice machine. Looks like it might be the one to beat in that market rt now.
AC TIG! So cutting edge!
The Hickok45 of the welding community
Bob can u show a video when u put ur tacks in with out haveing whiskers .in it on a 2inch sch160 pipe mig open root
Awesome videos .
Can you do mig/flux core and stick please I’m trying to buy a multiprocess welder thanks
Agustin Lozano yes
I think there's earlier videos of the mig and flux with this machine
Mike Phillips this machine does all four processes
Looks nice.
Was looking at prices for this machine but is a bit costly
Is there a way to buy just the welder unit rather than a package?????
I ordered a 205. According to the local supply house it should be in August 7th
Do a 205 giveaway!!😁
Ok bob you have run them both, which one performed better the everlast or esab?
John Walkowiak miller has one now too
What's the miller called? I don't think so sir
Isaac Hernandez don’t think so what? It’s the Miller Multimatic 220 .. don’t think lol goggle it.
The Miller looks nice, dual gas ports and no changing feed wheels
Scott Hall the Miller tho has no ac pulse, up slope , down slope and balance is only 50-70 and it has 20% duty. Doesn’t look like it was built for ac. Just quick ac repairs.
It would be nice to have a true all in one welder. But I can not complain about our Lincoln tig 185. Well. I could get nit picky about it but I won't. Could use a few more settings but it is old and welds amazing for what it is.
Bob will this machine run off 110/220 or is it straight 220

@@mrgreenswelding2853 Thanks.
Should I go with this or the mulltimatic 220
Can this rebel machine have an option to change the pre and post flow of the gas on tig ?
Can it do cold welding?
All that steel makes you loose a step with aluminum sometimes. What’s the Tig duty cycle? The miller is 20% no pulse hrz or slopes. This seems to be better
I learn welding in school nearly 18 years ago. I didn't weld much since but now I want to get back to welding. Is this good machine for beginner to learn ?
This machine is sooooo cool 😍😍
What size and type of tungsten were you running on these?
3/32" E3
Bob, was that a Ron White joke about coupons?? By the way I met you at southcoast welding academy for the competition.
Yes it is.
Why would they not include the ac pulse feature like it is on the DC. Even the ever last has ac and dc pulse
Probably like alot of companies they dont want to put all the tech into one machine or you would not buy the next one they bring out, when they bring it out with it. like dangling the carrot .
Is the amperage adjustable with the foot pedal?
Yes
cool stuff,any one know when this will be available in the UK?
also what would you use the different frequencys for?
Probably in 2030 lol
Coopuns! My kinda guy!
This hurricane put a hurting on me. I'll have to be a groupie next year.
I want one
SWEET! I will wait for the 285 amp machine to come out a little bit later.
Yeah, me too. I just got my EMP 285 a few weeks ago... now I'm trying to think about how to sell it when the big(gest) brother comes out!
2:09 classic bob humor, LMAO
Hoping for a long term review of this mooochine to see what it can do.
Nice little unit right there! What's the duty cycle is all I'm wondering now...
What?! This machine does AC Tig? Geez, it comes January 2019 and it also can do HF. I'm really exciited right now!
In some cases Tig is about like oxyacetylene welding
That's why I teach them at the same time in my program.
Basically. It’s like a mini oxy torch w/ a foot pedal to adjust the flame.
I saw that it does AC Tig but will it also do AC Stick?
How did we ever manage to build all these sky scrapers and bridges and machinery and, and, ..... in USA without ESAB.
WV591 rivets!

prices plz
$3,000 USD
fronius transsteel 2200 or this machine
dylan8447 transsteel does not have AC
yes but it will mig Aluminum with no spool gun
FRONIUS
That's the question I want to know also
Finally have 3000 burning a hole in my pocket a whole freaking year
Isaac Hernandez its a good investment in yourself
A pay miller 211 new 2018 .. now appear those toys miller ac dc .. everlast mst ac dc... esab .. fabricators.. get 3000 out those pockets.. god dam
Jose Cid i got recently a everlast 255 ext great machine
I was under the impression that you were to never have a pointed tungsten when doing aluminum in AC? What gives?
Not a thing for all machines these days. My Miller Dynasty 200 does not use a ball. Of course I usually make one on accident :)
One is almost obsolete and other is using electricity oxyacetylene welding is awesome if no electricity is available
Back to music and stuff and such and stuff

What machine do you recommend then ? I was really bought off of the specs of this machine
Ouch 3k! pretty salty
but still not available in uk
Don't know if I could stand that screaming at 400hz sounds like a mosquito on speed
Does ESAB give you this equipment, because these are promotions for their products. Do they donate equipment to the school? Just trying to figure out the deal with ESAB and your/school.
🤥🤥🤥🤥
No deal. Straight up information on the machine.
in your face miller
Опять не по нашему , всё равно СПАСИБО . БОЛЬШЕЕ ПОНЯТНО...
I have 215 emp, board fried, been waiting for 3 mos to get it back. I asked esab about this welder 3 mos ago, and the main tech support dude said that this welder is a gimmick! They put it together to fuck with people!!! I said, whaaa, yep fake news brothers. Don't get your hopes up.
You'r left handed.
Too bad the rebel series are Made in china. Otherwise the specs are quite interesting for them
