| Spec | Handler 125 | Power MIG 215 MPi |
|---|---|---|
| Process | Flux-cored out of the box, and MIG after a regulator and shielding gas are added. The sheet calls it a constant-voltage DC welder. | MIG, flux-cored, DC stick, and DC TIG. |
| Output amp range | 25–130 A. | 120 V: 20–140 A DC. 230 V: 20–220 A DC. Max OCV 56 V. |
| Rated duty cycle | 80 A at 25% duty cycle. The specifications table also prints 50 A at 60% and 40 A at 100%. | 215 A / 24.8 V / 30%. The specifications table prints that one duty-cycle figure beside input power 120/230/1/60. 215 A is above the printed 120 V output range of 20–140 A. |
| Input voltage and plug | 120 V. Amps input at rated output, 60 Hz: 21.3 A. The sheet says it operates on common 120-volt power and includes a power cord with plug. It does not name the plug or a breaker size. | 120/230/1/60. Input current at rated output: 120 VAC, 15 A effective and 22 A max; 230 VAC, 15.9 A effective and 29 A max. |
| Wire or rod size | Ready to weld with .030–.035 in. (0.8–0.9 mm) self-shielding flux-cored wire. With gas, .023–.030 in. (0.6–0.8 mm) solid wire. Stainless wire is mentioned for 18–12 gauge stainless with tri-mix gas. | Wire feed speed 50–500 ipm (1.3–12.7 m/min). A wire-diameter range is not in the specifications table. |
| Weight | 57.5 lb. | 48 lb (21.8 kg). |
| Material thickness | Mild steel thickness range 24 ga.–3/16 in. The same page limits the gas-shielded example to 24 gauge–1/8 inch steel. | Not published by manufacturer |
