Description
Miller 907710001 Maxstar 161 STL DC TIG/Stick Welder w/ X-Case (Portable Contractor Package)
The Miller Maxstar 161 STL (907710001) with X-Case Contractor Package is an ultra-portable DC TIG and Stick inverter welder designed for field professionals who need maximum mobility with industrial reliability. It is widely used in maintenance, piping, stainless fabrication, and mobile welding service work where carrying a heavy machine is not practical.
This unit is DC-only, meaning it is optimized for steel and stainless steel TIG welding and Stick welding, but it does not support aluminum TIG welding (no AC mode).
