Tried out 2 new lumps today

[Richard.]

And to be honest neither of them impressed me one bit.
Jasic AC/DC 200. The big huge thing with the loads of twisty knobs and a SIP 200 AC DC big huge thing with twisty knobs. Both looked similar and behaved similar. Really harsh noisy unstable arcs. Currents felt lacking for what was on the dial and it was not a pleasure. to all those out there looking for a AC/DC with a grand on the hip buy a TA or Parweld. They knock the spots off these two great things I tried today. Just my opinion. If I really had to chose between the two I'd say the SIP was slightly better.

Slumming it for the day mate?

Not at all. I don't compare these types of things to the ones I've owned or own. But I always take up the chance to try out kit.
I like a good few machines for the 1k money I've used ukracers acdc rtech like yours which again was alot better than the two I tried today. Could be Me using them badly set up ,??? Personally they ran in a tinny type fashion if that makes sense. just wanted to share incase others were thinking about them. I think there is a lot better out there on that budget.

These 2
Now I do believe both companies have more modern offerings of the acdc nowadays so perhaps they've upped there game. Would be worth trying the newer digital ones to see. These were the two I tried out.

Been using the digital Jasic 200 today on ally. Much prefer using that over the syncrowave.

I wonder if the stahlwerk welders are the same, I'd imagine those machines you tried Richard are the older MOSFET design, same as the stahlwerk. The rtech are the newer Chinese igbt design. Did you not like the arc in DC or ac or both ?

Have a Jasic Jasic PRO TIG 200P AC/DC Mini Digital Inverter on permanent loan, Thanks Tony to a person who has not a lot of tig experience it seems a nice machine If you set it up with basic parameters it was a doddle there is a pedal with it (you have to plug it in & hold pedal down for 5 seconds till machine beeps) I use that as I do with my old Miller SW & being able to carry it is a bonus let alone move it round the shop

Only on AC quick blast.

I noticed that with mine, the DC is perfect the ac is noisier than other tigs in AC and just seems aggressive, I'd imagine a lot of those tigs are built on the same design as the Chinese wmse 200 tigs, they changed to the physically smaller tigs same as the rtech (igbt design) at some stage. For 650 euro I think they are a bargain,( stahlwerk) . but for 1000 pounds I'd imagine the rtech, padweld etc are better. My stahlwerk tig is huge.

I have 6 of the Jasics and no problems bud. I prefer them to the thermal arcs any day.

I'm only a beginner tig, could very well just be my lack of skill.

I have a 200 ac/dc Jasic mini and I'm quite impressed with it. I've been welding for 11 years, mainly used Lincoln, murex and Esab tig welders and this welds just as good as all of them.
