Miller® Maxstar® 161 S is a 160 amp stick welder that weighs only 13 pounds and operates on either 120 volt or 240 input power. The Maxstar 161 S offers superior stick arc performance, even when using E6010. It features a digital meter that monitors welding amps and also has Miller's Auto-Line™ that automatically adjusts for input voltages ranging from 120 volts to 240 volts without manual linking.
The Maxstar 161 S comes with Miller's True Blue® 3 year warranty.
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.
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.
