OVERVIEW

Take Professional TIG & Stick Welding Anywhere

Meet the Miller Maxstar 161 STH, the ultimate solution for welders who need professional-grade performance in a package that goes wherever the job takes you. Weighing in at a mere 13 pounds, this powerhouse is redefining portability in the welding industry. Whether you are climbing ladders, working in tight mechanical rooms, or moving between job sites, the adjustable shoulder strap and compact design make transportation effortless. But don't let the size fool you—this machine is packed with features that deliver superior arc quality for both TIG and Stick processes.

Versatile Power for Any Location
Never worry about finding the right power hookup again. The Maxstar 161 STH comes equipped with separate 120V and 240V power cords that swap out in seconds without tools. Thanks to Auto-Line™ technology, you can plug into any standard residential or industrial power supply, and the machine handles the rest. It's the perfect companion for maintenance repair, shipboard installation, or farm and ranch work where power sources vary.

Precision Control Made Easy
Struggling with thin materials? The built-in Pulsed TIG feature (up to 150 pulses per second) gives you incredible control over the weld puddle, reducing heat input and preventing warping. If you aren't sure where to start, the Pro-Set™ feature takes the guesswork out of setup, letting you dial in optimal settings instantly. For Stick welding, say goodbye to frustrating starts. The Adaptive Hot Start™ ensures your electrode lights every time without sticking, even with tough 6010 rods. Plus, the built-in gas solenoid means you don't need a bulky TIG torch with a manual valve—streamlining your setup for maximum comfort and efficiency.

FAQ

No, the Standard Package (907711) includes the power source, electrode holder, work clamp, and power cords. It includes a TIG torch connector (273483) but does not include the TIG torch itself. You will need to purchase a TIG torch separately or choose a different package if you require one.

The DC Pulsed TIG feature allows you to pulse the arc between 0 and 150 Hz. This increases puddle agitation and arc stability while significantly reducing heat input, which helps prevent distortion and burn-through on thin materials.

Yes, the Maxstar 161 STH is designed with superior Stick arc performance that specifically supports difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010, making it suitable for pipe and construction applications.

The machine features Miller's Auto-Line technology and comes with two separate power cords (one for 120V and one for 240V). You simply disconnect the cord from the rear of the machine and attach the one you need—no tools or internal linking required.

On 240V input, the rated output is 160 Amps at 26.4 VDC with a 20% duty cycle, or 110 Amps at 24.4 VDC with a 100% duty cycle. On 120V input, it is 90 Amps at 13.6 VDC with a 100% duty cycle.

Yes, the 'STH' in the model name indicates it supports both Lift-Arc™ and High-Frequency (HF) arc starting for TIG welding, allowing for non-contact arc initiation.

No, the Maxstar 161 STH is a DC-only machine. It is excellent for steel and stainless steel but cannot weld aluminum, which typically requires AC output.

Pro-Set eliminates guesswork when setting weld parameters. It provides professionally optimized preset controls for features like Pulse, allowing you to quickly select the best settings for speed and confidence.
