Miller Maxstar® 161 STL TIG/Stick Welder Package 907710001
Miller Maxstar® 161 STL TIG/Stick welder package comes complete with 150 amp TIG torch, TIG accessories, flow gauge regulator, gas hose, stick electrode holder, power cables and X-CASE. It is capable of up to 160 amps of DC 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 Maxstar 161 STL 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.

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.
