Basically what the title says! has anyone got any experience with either machine? Or any recommendations on other machines? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated
As what @HughF said me and paraweld representative did not see eye to eye I also got to play with a rebel variant at the show nice machine also hoping to buy the 235 at the end of the year. Advice would be to try and demo a machine see which one is suitable for your needs as the paraweld was not a bad machine but the pre sets for the thingy which gives you base values I felt were out by a country mile
A point to note when comparing the ESAB Rebel to the Parweld 201di.
The Rebel 215ic is a 240A machine, the parweld is a 200A machine. Thats 20% more power in the same size package.
Duty cycle is roughly the same - the Rebel 215 has a 25% duty cycle of 205A.
I've had a rebel for 6months now and cant fault it, i'm no pro but the welds it helps me produce are great. The build quality is really good, dead simple to set up and use.
