Draper Gas/Gasless MIG Inverter Multi-Welder Dti, 160A

Versatile Multi-Process Inverter Welding in a Truly Portable Package

The Draper MW160A is a compact 160 amp multi-function inverter welder that brings together MIG, MAG, flux-cored, MMA (stick), and TIG-Lift welding in a single lightweight unit. With powerful IGBT inverter technology, synergic wire feed, and the latest DTi (Draper Technology Inside) digital control, it delivers precision and ease of use that punches well above its 12kg weight class.

Key Features at a Glance

The MW160A combines flexibility, performance, and portability:

• Multi-process welding — MIG, MAG, flux-cored, MMA (stick), and TIG-Lift
• Gas and gasless operation for shielding gas or flux-cored wire
• IGBT inverter technology for efficient, stable power delivery
• Synergic wire feed automatically matches wire speed to amperage
• DTi digital display with simple one-touch parameter setting
• Lightweight and portable at just 12kg, with integrated carry handle
• Euro torch connection for wide accessory compatibility
• Minimal spatter for cleaner welds and reduced clean-up time

One Machine, Five Welding Processes

The MW160A's headline feature is its true multi-process capability. A single compact unit handles MIG/MAG welding with shielding gas for clean, controlled welds on a wide range of materials; flux-cored (gasless) welding for outdoor or windy conditions; MMA stick welding for heavier fabrication, repair work, and welding on dirty, rusty, or painted surfaces; and TIG-Lift for precision work on stainless steel and other materials. Whether you're tackling automotive panels, structural repairs, agricultural maintenance, or general fabrication, one welder covers the job.

Latest Digital Technology for Precision Control

DTi (Draper Technology Inside) brings the latest digital welding technology to the MW160A — superior arc performance, finer control, and easier setup. The digital display and one-touch setting mean operators can dial in the right parameters quickly, while the synergic wire feed automatically matches wire speed to the selected amperage. The result is consistent, professional-quality welds with significantly less guesswork and minimal spatter.

Genuinely Portable Welding Power

At just 12kg and measuring 420 x 205 x 300mm, the MW160A is one of the most portable multi-process welders in its class. The integrated carry handle makes it easy to move between jobs — onto a bench, into a van, or out to a site repair. Despite its compact size, it delivers a 60% duty cycle at 160A and 100% at 120A, making it suitable for sustained welding work rather than just occasional repairs.

Who Is the MW160A For?

This Draper multi-process inverter welder is well suited to professional fabricators, automotive repair specialists, agricultural and plant maintenance engineers, mobile welders working across multiple sites, and advanced DIY users who want one machine to handle a wide range of jobs. The combination of compact size, low weight, and genuine multi-process capability makes it particularly appealing to anyone who needs to take their welder to the work — not the other way around.

Please Note

The MW160A runs from a standard 230V single-phase supply and is supplied without a plug fitted; a 16A plug will be required for connection. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure correct and safe wiring.
