The Miller Maxstar 161 STL TIG/Stick Package represents the pinnacle of portable inverter technology, designed for professional welders who demand reliability and performance in a compact form factor. Weighing in at just 13 pounds, this machine is engineered for maximum mobility without sacrificing the power needed for critical welds. Whether you are working on process piping, food and beverage industry repairs, or aerospace components, the Maxstar 161 STL delivers consistent DC TIG and Stick welding capabilities.
One of the standout features of this unit is the Auto-Line Power Management Technology. This innovation allows the machine to connect to either 120V or 240V single-phase power sources automatically, without the need for manual linking or tools. This flexibility is essential for contractors moving between job sites where power availability varies. The package includes separate power cords that easily disconnect, ensuring you are always ready to weld regardless of the outlet type available.
For TIG welding applications, the Maxstar 161 STL utilizes Lift-Arc technology to initiate the arc without the use of high frequency. This is particularly beneficial in environments sensitive to electronic interference, such as hospitals or near computer numerical control (CNC) machinery. The machine also boasts a 5-amp TIG capability, allowing for precise control when welding thin materials, making it a superior choice compared to other machines in its class.
In Stick mode, the unit shines with its ability to run difficult electrodes like E6010. Miller's Adaptive Hot Start technology ensures positive arc starts every time, preventing the electrode from sticking. Furthermore, the Stick-Stuck feature detects if an electrode becomes fused to the workpiece and safely shuts off output, allowing for easy removal and preserving the electrode. This package comes complete with the X-CASE for protection during transport, a Weldcraft A-150 TIG torch, and all necessary cables, making it a turnkey solution for your welding needs.
