Syncrowave 212 vs TIG230
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 | TIG230 |
|---|---|---|
| Process | AC/DC TIG (GTAW), pulsed DC TIG (GTAW-P), DC stick (SMAW), and MIG (GMAW) with a Spoolmate 150. | AC/DC TIG and stick. The page lists nine AC waveforms, including square, sine, triangle, and hybrid. |
| 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. | TIG 2–230 A. Stick 10–200 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. | TIG: 35% at 230 A, 60% at 175 A, 100% at 136 A. Stick: 35% at 200 A, 60% at 152 A, 100% at 118 A. The duty lines are not split by voltage. |
| 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. | 90–275 V, 50–60 Hz. That range covers a 120 V outlet and a 240 V outlet. Input amperes are not in the specifications block. |
| Wire or rod size | Not published by manufacturer | Not published by manufacturer |
| Weight | 54 lb. (24.5 kg), air-cooled machine only. | 46 lb. Dimensions 22 in. long, 8 in. wide, 16 in. high. |
| 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. | Not published by manufacturer |
