Miller Maxstar® 161 STL DC TIG/Stick Welder 907710
Miller Maxstar® 161 STL is a DC TIG/Stick welder that is capable of up to 160 amps of welding output. It weighs only 13 pounds and operates on either 120 volt or 240 input power. The Maxstar 161 STL features Miller’s Lift-Arc™, which initiates the TIG welding arc without using high frequency. The TIG arc is struck when the tungsten electrode is lifted off of the weld piece.
The Miller Maxstar® 161 STL DC TIG/Stick Welder 907710 also offers superior stick arc performance, even when using E6010. It has Miller’s Auto-Line™ technology that automatically adjusts for input voltages ranging from 120 volts to 240 volts without manual linking.
The Maxstar 161 STL comes with Miller’s True Blue® 3 year warranty.

Features
Auto-Line™ – Allows for any input voltage hookup (120-240 V) with no manual linking, providing convenience in any job setting. Ideal solution for dirty or unreliable power.
Digital meter for more precise control when presetting or monitoring welding amperage.
Lift-Arc™ provides TIG arc initiation without the use of high frequency.
Full function remote control for precise amperage control for critical welds on thin materials (6-pin fingertip or foot control available – sold separately.)
Built-in gas solenoid eliminates the need for a bulky torch with a gas valve.
Portable in the shop or at the job site – at 13.2 lb the shoulder strap allows the end user to easily move from location to location.
Fan-On-Demand™ – power source cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through the machine.
Thermal overload protection – helps prevent machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
Single amperage range – allows operator to accurately set amperage on both 120 or 240 volt primary power.
Hot Start™ adaptive control – provides positive arc starts without sticking.
Low OCV stick is a simple design that reduces the open circuit voltage to 12-16 volts when the welding power source is not in use. This circuit design is now built into the Maxstar 161 S eliminating the need for add-on voltage reducers.
Power factor corrected (PFC) – for optimum performance especially on 120 volts – reduces nuisance breaker tripping.
Stick-Stuck detects if the electrode is stuck to the part and turns the welding output off to safely and easily remove the electrode. Menu selectable.
Superior stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010.
NOTE: This is a DC welder ONLY. It CANNOT weld aluminum.
