HTP® Independence 251 Single Voltage AC/DC Smart Water-Cooled:

Power Forged in Independence. 

From the sparks of revolution to the spirit of American craftsmanship, HTP America brings you the Independence 251 AC/DC — a TIG machine that delivers unmatched performance with the grit and reliability American welders demand. 

If the INDEPENDENCE 210 AC/DC was the declaration, then the INDEPENDENCE 251 AC/DC is the Constitution — the solid foundation of TIG power, control, and versatility that lets you weld without limits. 

Built on the legacy of the Invertig 251 AC/DC, the Independence 251 AC/DC keeps everything you loved — and flies it under a new banner. Designed for those who take pride in their work and stand tall behind every weld they make.

This machine is your TIG torch of liberty. 

This is not just another TIG welder — it’s a symbol of what happens when rules are broken and welders not “bean counters” build elite welding machines. 

 🔥 FEATURES OF THE INDEPENDENCE 251 Single Voltage (220) AC/DC

⚡ 250 Amps of TIG Power – AC & DC Modes 

Confidently weld everything from aluminum to stainless, mild steel, titanium, and more — with smooth, stable arc control throughout the full range.

🔄 AC/DC Mix TIG Mode 

Combine the cleaning power of AC with the deep penetration of DC in a single arc. Perfect for heavy aluminum and high-speed productivity — ideal for structural, motorsports, and marine applications. 3 AC wave forms to choose from and mix wave shapes. 

🔁 Double Pulse TIG 

Add rhythm and control to your welds. Reduce heat input, minimize warping, and create that signature “stacked dime” appearance with ease — even on tricky metals and thin gauge material. The perfect tool for titanium.

⚙️ Fast Tack Function 

High-frequency, low-distortion arc starts for quick tacking without filler — ideal for precise fixturing and fit-up work where every second counts. 

🎯 Full AC Frequency & Balance Control 

Dial in the exact arc shape, focus, and cleaning action for your job. Whether you’re welding cast, extruded, or mirror-finish aluminum — you’re in control.

⏱️ Start & End Amps with Adjustable Slopes 

Soft starts and smooth finishes — set your arc exactly how you want it to begin and end, from razor-thin sheet to thick section fabrication.

🧠 Memory Function & Preset Jobs 

Save and recall your favorite settings in seconds — fast setup for repeatable jobs in the shop or field. 

🔥 Carbon air arc gouging  

Easily remove old welds, cut castings, remove stainless and leave a surface ready to just touch up with a grinder or in most cases to weld to right away. 

🖥️ Large Color Display & Intuitive Controls 

Big, bright interface with simplified menus. Quickly adjust key parameters without digging through layers of complexity.

🌀 Fan-On-Demand Cooling 

Runs quiet when idle. Powers up when things get hot — keeps your machine clean and efficient.

🧰 AC and DC Stick Welding Mode with Pulse 

Versatile enough for maintenance and structural welding with stick. Quick polarity changeover and smooth arc response. 

🪶 Portable Powerhouse – Under 60 lbs 

Easily moves between shop bays, race trailers, or job sites. Heavy-duty handle and compact form make it truly portable.

 Built by HTP America

Supported, serviced, and shipped from the U.S.A. Engineered for welders who believe in freedom, strength, and reliability.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TRUCK FREIGHT SHIPMENTS

The Independence 251 Smart water cooled package SHIPS to any business/commercial address with access to a forklift in the Contiguous United States for a flat rate fee that will be applied at check out. If you choose to ship the machine to your residence, accessorial fees will apply (a residential delivery fee, a lift-gate service fee, and possibly a limited access fee). Accessorial fees vary by ship to location and by freight carrier. You may place your order online, but you will be contacted by Customer Service to arrange and pay for any applicable accessorial fees. To avoid additional accessorial fees, we can also ship the machine to your nearest freight terminal, where the carrier will hold your machine for you to pick-up. **Please note that if you have indicated that you do not need lift gate at time of delivery and the carrier drops the lift gate, you will be contacted to pay the additional charge for this service. **

Also, if your ship to address is in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or any other U.S. Territory outside of the Contiguous United States, additional shipping charges will apply and accessorial fees may apply. You may still place your order online, but you will be contacted by Customer Service to arrange and pay for partial shipping along with any applicable accessorial fees.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TRUCK FREIGHT SHIPMENTS AND LOST OR DAMAGED GOODS

KEEP ALL SHIPPING CARTONS AND PACKAGING MATERIALS!

Your truck freight shipment leaves our facility and is accepted by the freight carrier in good condition. The material becomes your property when signed for by the freight carrier. Our responsibility for the shipment ceases when signed for and removed from our facility by the freight carrier.

Inspect your shipment thoroughly as soon as received. If possible, unpack the shipment in the presence of the driver. If this is a "HOLD ON DOCK FOR PICK-UP" shipment, inspect the shipment prior to leaving the freight terminal. If you do not inspect the shipment for loss or damage prior to signing for and leaving the freight terminal with the shipment, then the freight carrier will claim that you damaged the shipment bringing it home. If you notice loss or damage, then you must note this on the freight bill.

We are willing to assist you in every possible manner in the collections of claims for loss or damage, but this willingness does not make us responsible for such collection of claims or replacement of materials.
