Spec	Syncrowave 212	TIG225X
Process	AC/DC TIG (GTAW), pulsed DC TIG (GTAW-P), DC stick (SMAW), and MIG (GMAW) with a Spoolmate 150. Source	AC/DC TIG and stick. The page tells the operator to use AC for aluminum and magnesium and DC for steel, stainless, and most other metals. Source
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. Source	TIG 10–225 A. Stick 10–180 A. Source
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. Source	TIG: 40% at max output, and 100% at 108 A on 120 V or 155 A on 240 V. Stick: 40% at max output, and 100% at 76 A on 120 V or 139 A on 240 V. Source
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. Source	120 V / 240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz. Input amperes and a plug name are not in the specifications list. Source
Wire or rod size	Not published by manufacturer Source	Not published by manufacturer Source
Weight	54 lb. (24.5 kg), air-cooled machine only. Source	41 lb (18.5 kg). Source
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. Source	The page says it can weld materials up to 1/2 inch thick. Source
