XTS 163 MMA Inverter

The XTS 163 MMA (Stick) uses the latest technology to provide a compact and reliable machine, ideal for everyday applications. Electrodes up to 3.2mm can be used with ease. There is a digital display for easy setting and there is also a lift TIG function.

If you wanted to, you have the optional extra of fitting a TIG torch and coupling to a suitable gas supply. This then allows the XTS 163 to be used for TIG welding and and makes it suitable for welding steel and stainless steel. The lift arc mode limits the arc current when the tungsten touches the work piece preventing electrode damage. 

The XTS 163 is able to cope with inputs which fluctuate by +/-15% and can be used with the majority of generators. The machine is housed in a rugged steel case.

A carry case is available as an optional extra. Just call us so that we can order one in for you, as we do not keep the carry cases in stock.
