Syncrowave 212 vs Handler 210i
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 | Syncrowave 212 | Handler 210i |
|---|---|---|
| Process | AC/DC TIG (GTAW), pulsed DC TIG (GTAW-P), DC stick (SMAW), and MIG (GMAW) with a Spoolmate 150. | MIG and flux-cored. The included drive roll covers solid and flux-cored wire, and spool-gun circuitry is described for aluminum wire. |
| Output amp range | 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. | 120 V: 30–140 A. 240 V: 30–210 A. |
| Rated 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. | 120 V, 15 A: 45 A at 16.3 VDC, 100% duty cycle. 120 V, 20 A: 90 A at 18.5 VDC, 25% duty cycle, and 60 A at 17.0 VDC, 100% duty cycle. 240 V: 210 A at 24.5 VDC, 25% duty cycle, and 105 A at 19.3 VDC, 100% duty cycle. |
| Input voltage and plug | 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. | 120 V or 240 V, 50/60 Hz, with an included adapter for both. Amps input at rated output: 13.8 A on the 120 V, 15 A row; 27.6 A on the 120 V, 20 A row; 44.3 A on 240 V. |
| Wire or rod size | Not published by manufacturer | Quick Select drive roll for .024 in. (0.6 mm) or .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) solid wire, and .030/.035 in. (0.8/0.9 mm) flux-cored wire. |
| Weight | 54 lb. (24.5 kg), air-cooled machine only. | 26 lb. The sheet says the machine weighs only 26 pounds. |
| Material thickness | 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. | Mild steel thickness range 24 ga.–3/8 in., in a single pass, with thicker material by multiple passes. |
