Same fields. Each cell is that model's published text. A blank stays "Not published by manufacturer." The outlet chip does not hide either column.
| Spec | Handler 125 | Power MIG 260 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 and flux-cored. |
| Output amp range | 25–130 A. | 30–300 A. Wire feed speed 50–700 ipm (1.3–17.7 m/min). |
| Rated duty cycle | 80 A at 25% duty cycle. The specifications table also prints 50 A at 60% and 40 A at 100%. | 250 A / 26.5 V / 40%. |
| 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. | 208/230/460/575 V, 1-phase, 60 Hz. Input current at rated output: 59/55/27/21 A in that voltage order. The 230 V figure is 55 A. This check treats that 230 V figure as the 240 V outlet class. |
| 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. | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 57.5 lb. | 247 lb (112 kg). Dimensions 37.3 x 18 x 40.4 in. |
| 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 |
