The Maxstar 161 Series provides maximum portability and performance in the most compact Miller TIG/Stick packages. Weighing only 13 pounds, this offers dependability and performance all in one machine.

Features

  • No Need For A Gas Valve On Your TIG Torch: With a built-in gas solenoid, the Maxstar® 161 eliminates the need for a bulky TIG torch with a gas valve
  • Conserve Your Electrodes: With the Stick-Stuck feature the machine detects if the electrode is stuck to the part and turns the welding output off to safely and easily remove the electrode.
  • 5 Amp TIG Capability: Allows users to weld thinner materials than other machines in this category.
  • Low Power Draw: By utilizing an inverter-based power source in the Maxstar® 161, superior arc starts and excellent weld puddle control are provided in both the TIG and Stick settings - all in a small, light-weight package.
  • 6010 Stick Electrode Capability: Superior Stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010.
  • Compact Design Allows for Great Portability: Weighing in at 13 lbs. and featuring a convenient handle/shoulder strap, this little inverter-based machine can be taken from location to location.
  • Pro-Set™ Feature: This feature eliminates the guesswork when setting weld parameters. Use Pro-Set when you want the speed, convenience and confidence of pre-set controls. Simply select the feature and adjust until Pro-Set appears on the display. The Pro-Set feature is available for Balance, Frequency, Pulse and DIG parameters.
  • Use on 120 AND 240 Volt Input Power: Separate 120 and 240 volt power cords disconnect from the rear panel of the machine without the use of any tools to allow your to common 120 and 240 volt power receptacles.
  • No More "Sticky" Electrodes: With Miller's Adaptive Hot Start™ technology, you no longer have to worry about those difficult-to-strike electrodes.
  • Easy-to-Use: 1. Turn power on. 2. Select process: High-Frequency TIG, Lift-Arc™ TIG, Stick, or 6010 Stick. Set amperage. 3. Then weld! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
