PowerArc 161STH
The PowerARC 161STH is a compact, versatile DC stick and TIG welder offering the features you need without unnecessary complexity. It improves on the popular PowerARC 160STH with upgraded performance for both stick and TIG welding.
Key enhancements include 6010/Cellulose capability for pipeline and repair work, VRD for safety, and adjustable arc force and hot start for tailored stick welding.
For TIG, the unit offers HF start, Lift start, Live Lift for touch-free operation, preflow and downslope controls, 2T/4T switch operation, and an easy-to-use pulse function with adjustable frequency.
Designed with user feedback, the PowerARC 161STH provides professional-grade functionality at an affordable price. Compare it to other models, and you'll find it hard to match its value and performance.
