Hello.
I´m not sure if I read here (and about this machine) that somebody use it to weld in MMA mode and affter that the machine started to fail in TIG mode. Does anyone know anything about that or usually uses the sherman 206p for MMA and TIG welding?
I have the shrman (For TIG) and an old transformer AC welder wich I use for MMA, and because I need space, I´m thinking about trow away the transformer one and use the sherman for everything
Thank you

Ive had great results mine in stick. I have very little gas and trying to preserve it. Stick is fine, wont harm it
Hower a similar queatioin, Ive just bought some zoro carbon arc rods to try gouging and brazing with. There are a few posts on here saying that gougiing is very hard on inverter machines and can possibly damage, or cause a noticable effects, so I am unsure about using them.

Thank you for your responses.
Good bye buzz box!

Bit late to this party, just read through entire thread. What's the score with import charges for Welders coming to UK from EU since brexit? Google suggests that Welders are zero rated for import duty? Goods upto £135 have VAT charged by retailer so presumably anything above should not have VAT charged at source and be paid on delivery? Or have I got totally wrong end of the stick?

I bought a Paton wire feed on ebay (it was very very cheap!)....that arrived from Poland and I was expecting a VAT bill but nothing came through so maybe you're right.
I bought a ring roller recently from Poland, they told me import duty would be levied by the courier but it wasn't.
Some one else told me it's not being enforced or collected by UK gov on small imports mostly.

You should expect to be charged VAT and an admin fee on top from the delivery company e.g. FedEx, DHL or whoever. Sometimes you will get away with it but expect to pay it or factor it in when looking at the overall price. You might get a nice surprise.
The European vendors won't sell you the original welder in this thread if you're in the UK as they have been "leaned on" for want of a better term.
It's a bit of a lottery sometimes with regard to charges. Ebay have it sorted. If you buy from China they will add the VAT to the price at source so you don't get hit by the admin charges from the like of FedEx or the post office when it arrives. The admin fee can be a big a percentage of the overall cost if your item is 40 quid say.

Thanks, it was more of a generic question. I've seen a few things advertised on both direct from a EU retailer, or on Ebay/Amazon from same retailer for similar prices so the retailer is either pocketing the VAT, or somehow passing it to HMRC in same way as they would be obliged to on lower value sales.
Suppose I could just ask them
If you are waiting for the gas please try the mma mode and see it the fan comes on after welding a rod try a 2.5 at 100 amps.
Do not force the machine if the fan has some default and doesn´t come on ,you will overheat the inverter.
It not normal but the 24v relay could be damage or the fan can be damaged or unplug.
As they said the the fan is on demand but on my machine you can ear the fan easily.

on mine i need to have been welding (TIG) at ~120 amps for about 5 or more minutes continuous before the fan comes on,
when it does come on boy is it powerful, and only stays on for about 30 - 45 seconds,
i'm sure in the specs it says it will shut the output down if it gets too hot from a fan not working / blocked air ducts or trying to weld continuously at full current with no breaks... i'd expect a modern inverter machine to warn you things are getting a bit too hot if the fan can't keep up before killing the output like the old transformer machines did (with no warning)
