Three Simple Steps to Get You TIG'n'

Turn on the Diversion™ 165 Flip the switch. It's just that simple.

Select Your Metal We've labeled the metal types so you don't have to memorize the difference between AC and DC. Again, all you do is flip the switch.

Select Your Material Thickness See the color associated with the metal you've selected. Just turn the dial to the proper thickness based on the material you are welding.

NEW! Easy-to-understand operator interface. Only three switches to operate the machine: a power switch, a material selection switch, and an amperage control/material selection switch.

Inverter-based, AC/DC power source provides a more consistent welding arc while operating more efficiently (less energy is used).

Portable. Whether it's in the shop, garage or at the race track, at 50 pounds it can be taken anywhere.

HF start for non-contact arc starting that eliminates tungsten and material contamination.

Fan-On-Demand™ improves power efficiency and reduces noise and maintenance by lessening the amount of airborne contaminants pulled through the machine.

Auto-Postflow protects the weld end zone and electrode by optimizing postflow time based on welding amperage - for adequate shielding every time without waste and no need for adjustment.

Fully adjustable amperage control from 10-165 amps DC and AC.

NEW! Weldcraft® LS17 TIG Torch. 150 A, air-cooled torch features the hand controlled amperage adjustment built into the handle of the torch.
