With a weight of only 38 lbs, the Millermatic 211 is truly a lightweight and thus portable MIG welder that you can take with you without any problems.
But, the Millermatic 211 is not only a 110V welder. You can use it as a 230V welder at the same time. Being independent of available voltage level makes the Millermatic 211 a very versatile machine.
Technical specifications
- Input voltage: 120 V/240 V
- Amperage range: 30 A – 230 A
- Wire diameter range: 0.024″ – 0.045″
- Metal sheet thickness: 18 ga. to 3/8″ (depending on material)
- Machine weight: 38 lbs (42 lb. with gun)
- Rated output: 115 A @ 20 % duty cycle (120 V)
- Rated output: 150 A @ 40% duty cycle (240 V)
Use the Millermatic 211 either at an input voltage of 110V/120V or 230V/240V. Additionally, Millers package includes different plugs that allow connection to standard 120- and 240- volt power receptacles.

Operation Modes
The Millermatic 211 comes with Millers popular Auto-Set mode and the Manual mode.
Auto-Set mode
Another promising feature is Miller’s Auto-Set mode:
Just select your wire & gas combination, set material thickness and wire thickness with the turning knobs. Now, the machine will calculate required power and wire speed by itself so you don’t need to experiment or guess the machine parameters.
With this feature, you can save time because you don’t have to try out different parameters and can rely on predefined parameters developed by Miller.
Of course, the Auto-Set mode is ideal for beginners.
Manual mode
In manual mode, you can choose the parameters yourself, similar to any other competitors welding machine.
