6010 Stick Electrode Capability
Superior Stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010.
No More "Sticky" Electrodes
With Miller's Adaptive Hot Start™ technology, you no longer have to worry about those difficult-to-strike electrodes.
Conserve Your Electrodes
With the Stick-Stuck feature the machine detects if the electrode is stuck to the part and turns the welding output off to safely and easily remove the electrode.
No Need For A Gas Valve On Your TIG Torch
With a built-in gas solenoid, the Maxstar® 161 eliminates the need for a bulky TIG torch with a gas valve

Allows users to weld thinner materials than other machines in this category.
