If you've been in the hunt for a well priced, well balanced and moderately powerful DC stick and TIG welder, then you know that pickings are slim. You can find a well priced unit, but does it honestly have everything you might someday need? Sure, it will work and get you by for now. But do you want that nagging feeling of wishing you could have gotten more in the way of features and performance? If this sounds familiar, then you might appreciate the fact that in our redesign of our PowerARC line, we did not forget about you. The new PowerARC 161STH offers you about everything you could want, but does not overwhelm you with things that, well you might need a engineering degree to figure out. The new digitally controlled PowerARC 161STH was designed to be a clear improvement over the older analog PowerARC 160STH, without sacrificing the things that made the older unit so popular. We took quite a while to develop this new product, and while doing so, we listened to our customers "wish list" of ideas that they had about their units and tried to implement them in a simple, intuitive way in this new unit. One thing is clear, the older PowerARC 160STH favored TIG more than stick performance. With this new model, both stick and TIG performance shine equally well. As far as added Stick features go, the most noticeable is the addition of the 6010/Cellulose capability. This is welcome news for those pros wanting to use this machine for pipeline or portable repair. 6010 and 6011 are go-to rods when fitup and rust are problems. So we improved the stick performance and went with this added feature. But also, we added in other features such as VRD (voltage reduction) and anti electrode stick for safety.
