907710002 - Miller Maxstar 161 STL TIG/Stick Package with Remote Control

Miller Maxstar 161 STL Contractor Package - 907710002

Equip yourself with the Miller Maxstar 161 STL Contractor Package, a top-tier welding system designed for versatility and reliability in the field. This package is curated for the serious welder who needs a machine that can travel anywhere and perform flawlessly. The kit includes the Maxstar 161 power source, a remote fingertip control for precise amperage adjustments on the fly, a high-quality Weldcraft TIG torch, and all necessary cables, housed within a rugged X-CASE. Whether you are working on process piping, food and beverage industry repairs, or aerospace applications, this machine delivers consistent DC TIG and Stick welding results.

Unmatched Portability and Flexibility

Gone are the days of hauling heavy transformer machines. The Maxstar 161 STL weighs only 13 lbs and features an adjustable shoulder strap, making it effortless to move from truck to job site. Its compact footprint (10.3 x 5.6 x 13.5 inches) allows it to fit into tight spaces where larger machines cannot go. The ability to swap between 120V and 240V input power instantly means you are never left without a power solution. The included MVP plugs and cords make voltage transitions seamless, ensuring you can get to work immediately regardless of the outlet type available.

Precision Welding Technology

This machine is packed with features to enhance weld quality. The DC TIG mode utilizes Lift-Arc ignition, perfect for critical welds where tungsten inclusion must be avoided, and high-frequency starts are not permitted. It supports a wide amperage range from 5 to 160 amps, providing the finesse needed for thin stainless steel and the power required for thicker sections. In Stick mode, the Maxstar 161 overcomes common challenges; the Low OCV Stick design reduces open-circuit voltage to 12-16 volts when not welding, enhancing safety without compromising the ease of arc starting.

Reliability and Warranty

Miller Electric stands behind the Maxstar 161 with their True Blue 3-Year Warranty, giving contractors peace of mind. The machine's thermal overload protection safeguards internal components if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked. Power Factor Correction (PFC) ensures optimum performance, especially on 120V circuits, by reducing nuisance breaker tripping. This package is not just a welder; it is a complete, professional-grade system ready to tackle the most demanding DC welding tasks.
