ESAB RUSTLER EM 280C PRO welding machine (semi-automatic)

ESAB Rustler MIG PRO compact welding inverters are your choice for the most common welding problems. Equipped with the latest inverter technology, they combine low energy consumption with optimized welding performance.

The Rustler is ready to weld the most commonly used base materials with optimized arc programs for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brazing and flux cored wire. Smooth wire feed is ensured by a robust and reliable 4 WD feed mechanism. The synergistic model allows you to operate by setting the material thickness to achieve perfectly balanced welding parameters, allowing even less experienced welders to produce optimal welds.

The reliable case is further enhanced with a flexible accessory storage system, allowing users to store and protect additional tools as needed. Additional features include an inspection window, internally lit compartment, torch holder and cable management for an efficient and comfortable working environment.

Produces more with high output current and duty cycle Intuitive panel with direct access to work settings reduces adjustment time Durable housing with flexible accessory storage makes the machine an easy-to-move workstation Inspection window and light in the compartment for better visibility and less downtime

Excellent arc characteristics optimized for the most common base materials result in less post-weld work

Premium 4WD (Ø 38 mm) feed mechanism for stable operation and long parts life Built-in MMA welding mode provides flexibility in welding different types of base materials
