MILLER MAXSTAR 150 STL vs LONGEVITY STICKWELD 140 COMPARISON & REVIEW VIDEO
In this episode of the Longevity Learning Lab, Bruce goes over the Longevity Stickweld 140 vs Miller Maxstar 150 STL. We review the basic functionality of each model, pricing, and some basic facts about both machines. Enjoy!
Miller Info:
Miller® Maxstar® 150 STL TIG Welder, 115/230 Volt With Maxstar® 150 STL Power Source, 10' MVP® Power Cord, (2) MVP® Plugs, Electrode Holder With 13' Cable, 10' Work Cable And Clamp, International Flow-Thru Adapter And Shoulder Strap.
Features:
Auto-Line™ technology circuitry automatically connects to 115 - 230 VAC, single-phase power without removing the cover to relink the power source.
Our exclusive multi-voltage plug (MVP™) allows connection to 115 or 230 V receptacles without tools—choose the plug that fits the receptacle and connect it to the power cord.
Portable in the shop or at the job site - at 13.2 lb the shoulder strap allows the operator to easily move from location to location.
Lift-Arc™ start provides TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency.
Built-in gas solenoid eliminates the need for bulky torch with a gas valve.
Full function remote control for precise amperage control for critical welds on thin materials (6-pin fingertip or foot control available.)
Thermal overload protection prevents machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
Single Amperage Range allows operator to accurately set amperage on both 115 V or 230 V primary power.
Inverter-based, DC power source has a simple-to-use operator interface providing only the necessary controls in a compact machine.
Adaptive Hot Start™ automatically increases output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it and prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.
Low OCV Stick reduces open-circuit voltage (OCV) to 12 - 16VDC when machine is not in use.
Best-in-class Stick arc characteristics for those demanding jobs.
Power Factor Corrected (PFC) for optimum performance especially on 115 V—reduces nuisance breaker tripping.
Fan-On-Demand™ power source cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through the machine.
