Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

[Tangledfeet]

Apologies if I'm covering old ground but I haven't managed to read all 94 pages!

You're not covering old ground; you're trying to break new ground - in the wrong place!

This thread is for discussion of the Sherman 206P, which is a Jasic clone. You'd be best starting a new post in the TIG welding machines general section; you'd more likely get a response from a wider audience too - and it keeps this ongoing thread tidier as it keeps discussion to the 206P.

Did you try to max out the pedal potentiometer ?

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: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-10-2...972450?hash=item2801ce0ba2:g:BlEAAOSwM2xar9TV
3. M10 hose connector. Just replaced the 3/8" BSP on welders side of DINSE adapter with this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...575f4e2d84e9a90d523afac9bd45c&ck=in_edm_other
4. Original Sherman TIG pedal, ordered from Weldes.de

OK, I'll start a new thread. Also I should have said end current, not start current.

I have just looked at the Sherman 206 kit including argon £459 plus delivery. I have wanted a good welder for years and this looks like it may suit me. Seems several on here bought this model? Any problems to speak of? Is it recommended for a new starter to tig? Thanks, sorry if this has been asked already.

Paul.

No issues with mine, thoroughly enjoying it. That is a remarkable price with argon.

That price looks like it is for the DC only version (£458.94?). The discussion on here has (mostly, at least) has been about the AC/DC version. 206 AC/DC Kit with argon is £627.66 in the same place (no foot pedal). I'm not sure whether they can ship argon cylinders to the UK, or how you would get them filled.

The welder on its own is showing at £510 without pedal / £564 with.

Glad I asked, I would be pretty miserable if I couldn't try welding aluminium after waiting years for one!
It is £510 plus delivery for the ac/dc version that I want. Think I would get Adams gas bottle over here if there are problems getting a full argon bottle shipped, should be ok though as Argon is inert?
So nobody had any faults or failures with these then? Great news!

Still goes BANG though if you knock the valve off.

The pedal is very useful for aluminium.

I thought they'd stopped shipping this particular welder to the UK?

www.weldes.de Has but it is still available from other European online places if you Google, has gone up in price somewhat!

 

[Luggsey]

Has anybody purchased from the Polish Greyeagle shop? Is it the same as the UK Greyeagle shop?
Still interested to know if anyone with a Jasic or Jasic rebranded 206 ac/dc had any problems with them?

I did (before Christmas / Year Zero). No issues.
Excellent communications - very prompt, chatty replies (in English) to a couple of emails I sent (both pre* & post** delivery).

Not sure that they can/will supply the 206P AC/DC to the UK any more, but I'm sure that they'll tell you if you email & ask. I notice that the model in question isn't on the .uk site.

(* Asking about order progress because the status on the web page wasn't changing - he assured me that all was well and that it would all be sent out on time, but that they were very busy with orders - I wonder why! )
(**Forgot to ask for the English manual when ordering!)

I'm trying to work out if Paypal or a credit card gives better protection when buying from the EU?
I'll be in a position to place an order next pay day so still time to decide the best way to go.

It'll be the same as the Jasic's manual, seeing as its a clone: https://441fb7a4-fa17-4540-a834-dc3...d/fc2fb8_8e5db32378a54738bac4919d510fba4d.pdf

Yes, got the Jasic manuals, thanks (2 of them!) The Jasic manuals are *much* easier to read although they don't mention the " Ground cable with clamp tickborne encephalitis"

(There are some warranty conditions in the back of the Sherman manual so I'm glad I got it).

Sherman manual attached for reference.

Razorweld manual has some good info in, too.

Not shipping to UK so no banging!

Hi. New here, bought one of these earlier last year. I'm now looking for the pedal but see they're no longer shipping here to the uk. Anyone have a source for just the pedal or managed to get another to work? Had a quick look through the thread but couldn't find what I was looking for so apologies if already covered.

Thanks
