Thermal Arc 161S Tig/Stick

admin

Anyone out there have the Thermal Arc 161S? How do you like it? I'm looking at this one, the Miller Maxstar 150S and the Lincoln InvertecV155S for a small inverter based stick/DC tig machine.StephenMillermatic 251Miller Syncrowave 200Miller 30A SpoolgunHypertherm Powermax 30Etc., etc., etc.............Cancer Sucks!

Reply:Originally Posted by dunemetalThe 150S is stick only, you have to get the STL (lift arc) or STH (hi freq) in order to TIG with it. That being said, I love my 150 STH.
Reply:I have the Miller 150S, it is not the finest stick welder I have ever used, but it does just fine with most 3/32 & 1/8 electrodes. The size, weight, and ability to run on120V cannot be beat.I haven't used either of the others but the Millers are quite popular and widely available used. I paid $400 for mine on C/L and it looked almost new.JohnA few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps
Reply:Originally Posted by goinssrRight...I was just refering to the 150S series of welders which includes the TL and TH. Sorry, I should have made myself clearer.
