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 | Multimatic 255 | Syncrowave 212 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | MIG (GMAW), pulsed MIG (GMAW-P), flux-cored (FCAW), DC stick (SMAW), DC Lift-Arc TIG (GTAW), and pulsed TIG (GTAW-P). | AC/DC TIG (GTAW), pulsed DC TIG (GTAW-P), DC stick (SMAW), and MIG (GMAW) with a Spoolmate 150. |
| Output amp range | 5–350 A. | AC/DC TIG: 20–210 A. DC stick: 30–200 A. MIG: 30–175 A. The specifications table narrows 120 V DC TIG to 20–140 A and 240 V DC stick to 35–160 A. |
| Rated duty cycle | MIG: 230 A at 25.5 V, 60% duty cycle. Stick: 200 A at 28 V, 60% duty cycle. TIG: 275 A at 21 V, 60% duty cycle. | Quick specs lead with 130 A at 15.2 V, 60% duty cycle. The table adds, at 60%: 120 V DC TIG 110 A at 14.4 V, and 240 V DC stick 120 A at 24.8 V. It also prints 210 A at 20% and 120 A at 100% on the AC/DC TIG duty column, without tying those two lines to one voltage. |
| Input voltage and plug | Auto-Line 208–575 V, single-phase. Input amperes are not in the quick specs. | 120–240 V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz. Amps input at rated output in the table: 18.8 A for 120 V DC TIG and 11.8 A for 240 V DC TIG. The 240 V DC stick row prints 16.3 A. |
| Wire or rod size | Not published by manufacturer | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | Machine only: 84 lb. (38 kg). Machine with running gear: 148 lb. (67 kg). | 54 lb. (24.5 kg), air-cooled machine only. |
| Material thickness | Not published by manufacturer | AC/DC TIG: 120 V, 20 gauge–1/8 in.; 240 V, 20 gauge–1/4 in. DC stick: 120 V, 16 gauge–3/16 in.; 240 V, 16 gauge–3/8 in. MIG spool gun: 120 V, 1/8 in.; 240 V, 1/8–3/8 in. The table does not name the metal. |
