Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

[niels]

Jasic is 5 years but require a service every year however i blow the crap out myself which they accept.

I want to point out that a yearly service is not a prerequisite for the 5 years warranty. I did contact both the retailer where I did buy my Jasic 160 Multi and Wilkinson Star and they both confirmed that the yearly service is not needed.

An excerpt of the e-mail I got back from Wilkinson Star. (I blacked out the name and email address of the contact for privacy reasons.)

Cheers,
Niels

where would I get parweld tig for 750? They seem closer to £1000

Ask your preferred supplier what the best he can do is, might get a better price than you think, then again you might not

Nope as i think this thread has turned into let's buy an even cheaper welder and hope it's a jasic so they are not considering anything else. I was raving about this jasic on here 3 years ago but only now people are getting it but things have progressed as these new xtt212 are proper bang for buck

In fairness, that is the point of this thread (i.e. the Jasic copy/knock-off/rebadge)...
I see your point though; we need to be hunting out the knock-off XTT 212s now

The unimig Razor has a 7 pin connector

Yes as it's an original jasic

Interesting spot - the sheer number of variations on this little welder!
Bbe555 I take that to mean your your latest Jasic had the 7-pin connector - did the last one (as until this revision, the manuals showed a 5-pin as per the Sherman)? I wonder is this where it goes to live display update?

[EDIT] - Scratch that - the latest Jasic manual shows a 5-pin too

I will sell you one with a pedal for 800 lol but sshhh its a secret.

LOL, don't like pedals, now if it was £50 delivered for a Tetrix I may take you up on that

 

[SteveyG]

If it's the latter, the Sherman *might* do that - I've never looked at it whilst trying the pedal *with an arc*

When welding, it shows the actual current. I stuck the tungsten to check this

Id agree havent seen one under £900 from a reputable dealer.

That's handy, just need a heads up display as suggested, or get a welder banksman to shout out the current

 

[Richiew]

The triangular wave offers peak amperage while reducing overall heat input into the weld. This leads to quick puddle formation, low weld distortion, and fast travel speeds. It is especially good for welding thin aluminum.

You improved my welding with that observation, thank you. I was using square wave on 3mm ally. The triangle wave seems to control the heat better. Cheers

In which board is the Software by the Jasic 200 pro ac dc ?

 

[Altintas]

Sherman 206P torch AMP Control

 

[Hood]

Aye so basically you are setting the max on the set itself and then you can adjust via the pot between that max and a minimum value. The difference between that and the Stealth is that once you have set the max via the dial on the machine with the Stealth you can then turn the pot and see the values go lower, with the Sherman it will only display the actual current when welding.
Certainly not the best but at least it works in 4T and you can set a max current so that means it is usable if wanted.

 

[DavidL]

Very interesting indeed. Seems to limit to 40pc ish of max? What was the welding mode and other parameters out of interest? (E.g. start/end current)

Rotek WIG200 = Sherman 206p AC DC

phttps://www.rotek.at/a000/003/000003365_00_RT_A_de.html

they also have an original jasic on offer

https://www.rotek.at/a000/003/000003094_00_RT_A_de.html

I already believe that Jasic manufactures the devices but with fewer functions

 

[chrisg3103]

That rotek is interesting, this ones even got the same pro decal on the case as the jasic, good find

I would not buy the rotek is probably just a light version like the Sherman

 

[Hood]

Big difference in price between the Sherman and these, the Shermans were half that price and these are more or less the same price as the "real" Jasics.

 

[chrisg3103]

indeed, interesting to see there are still more variants out there though.

was going through an old hard drive last night and found pictures of my BOC rebadged P&H

An original P&H

what a difference 70 years of technological development makes to the size and weight of things! As you can see it takes lifting gear to move this thing.... should probably look at selling this dinosaur now
