This is a dedicated 220V machine, built for consistent power, stable arc performance, and the ability to handle electrodes that most small inverters struggle with—like 6010 and 8010 rods.
Why 220V Only Matters
Running strictly on 220V means:
- More stable arc under load
- Better performance with demanding electrodes
- No power drop-offs or inconsistencies
This isn’t about convenience—it’s about performance where it counts.
Where It Separates Itself
Runs 7018/6010/8010 Rods
Most machines in this class stay in the 6013/7018 lane.
The PRO-165 is built for:
- Pipe roots
- Structural welds
- Field repairs requiring penetration
This is real welding capability—not just surface-level performance.
Arc Force Adjustment (Your Advantage)
Gives you control that many compact machines don’t:
- Reduces rod sticking
- Keeps the arc aggressive when needed
- Helps maintain stability in out-of-position welding
TIG Ready (Recommended Setup)
For TIG welding, best performance comes from pairing it with a:
👉 150 Amp single-lead TIG rig
Simple, effective, and reliable for:
- Light fabrication
- Detail work
- Shop use
