Thanks to all the useful info in this thread, finally got the CK-17 torch running. This is the setup Im using:
1. CK17 Flex Head from Rapid Welding: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PHGJJ7F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
2. 35/50 DINSE adapter with 3/8" BSP gas connector...
Finally got the consumables and spent my first few TIG welding hours. A lot of learning ahead...
The main conclusion at this point is - the Sherman works and I am very happy with it. ;)
Big thanks for this information! I should have tried current >100A,but I did not :)
Unfortunately, I will have a chance to test this only next weekend, but I hope thats it.
Thanks for the quick answer!
Yes, that LED! I dont know, I did set the 3.2 mm electrode thickness and tried current in range of 80..100 A, which should be okay. I guess I have to play with it a little bit more.
Thanks for 'E-2' explanation, it kind of makes sense, but it could be still nice if...
Hi all!
Today I got my Sherman. Did not test TIG welding yet as I still have to get Argon, but tested in MMA mode with 3.2mm electrodes and it works great! I noticed though that front panel has alarm LED lit all the time and when I power it down it does a single beep and shows 'E-2' on...
