I don't for sure but RAL2005 has got to be worth a shout
maybe even 2000

I dunno but I've got a Ral chart so if someone wants to send me a Jasic I'll try and match it up.

It comes with a box of consumables which I think includes a short tungsten.
It also comes with a barbed 21 female fitting to fit the male on the back of the machine.
So, assuming you've PPE (though would defo recommend thin TIG gloves):
- Argon
- Regulator and hose (think fitting barb is 5-6mm)
- Some practice metal and a pack of filler rods maybe
- Schuko adapter or mains plug of your choosing. I've got a 16a pce commando on but I think others are happily running them on 13a
It would probably be worth getting some tungstens too, as the provided one wouldn't last long if you're as bad as me
I got some cheapo gas lens type fittings/collets etc - kits on Amazon etc can be a cheap way of picking them up with various ceramics etc, but there's certainly enough to build the torch up supplied with the machine.
Several of us have found the torch wasn't quite to our liking; for me it was the switch, for others it was the fixed neck etc.
I found a smaller torch was nicer with one of them clip on switches. Have a WP9F (smaller, different consumables) and WP17 (smaller but same consumables as supplied torch). Latter was Kennedy from zoro, and the WP9F - no name off eBay. Both very nice compared to supplied WP26.
If you're getting a new torch, you'll want 35-50 dinse, and m10 for the gas connector, and the XS12 5 pin plug. You'll likely need to source your own m10 and 5 pin plug as they do not seem common in the world of TIG.
I posted a series of links many pages back for plugs, connectors etc and will dig it out if you wish.
@www_weldes_de
Still having issues purchasing stuff off your websites using mobile phones.
Was looking into a pedal.

Thanks David - That is extremely helpful. I’ll trawl back through the pages for your other info on plugs etcIt comes with a box of consumables which I think includes a short tungsten.

I got the tracking order today too after also sending them an email the other day.
I already have the dinse adapter and 5-way plugs. I need to source some pure argon though as I've only got the argon mix for the Mig. I'll get a new torch too. I did have a look on Zoro earlier today and spotted the Kennedy torches.

Regarding the plugs, I ordered in May and they were supposed to be delivered mid July but the tracking disappeared last week and had to get a refund from Amazon. That was painless enough but now I need to find a better source, anyone know of any UK stockists?

I'm afraid not and I did look. I'd be interested too.
I also ordered another 5 pack (24th May) and they arrived just a day or two ago. I must admit, I didn't keep track of them on Amazon (I'd forgot!)
I'd be tempted to reorder from them as a safety net, knowing at least Amazon will refund if it goes belly up.
This said, I am unlikely to use them all - how many do you need?

I ordered my pack of XS12-5 connectors on 7th June and they were delivered on 25th June - I used the Amazon link that David had previously posted.

I've been keeping track of this thread because I'm interested in getting one. I'm a bit lost though!
Would someone mind posting a summary of what's what please?
I'm adrift with what's doing with the pedal - can it be used for amp control with the modifications? Also, what's the deal with the "hidden menu" - what can be unlocked?
Cheers,
Fro

Do it!!!! Do it!!!!
Yes, the thread has got huge. There's a lot of useful info, though sadly a number of posts do seem to have been deleted. It'd be worth refactoring the key bits into a wiki somewhere
The pedal can be used without modifications. As supplied, however, the plug make up is a bit dodgy. Some members (myself included) have rewired it - this is purely to fit a new plug with strain relief (which requires the replacement of a 2c and 3c cable with a single 5c cable). The issue with amp control is that the display doesn't update to show pedal current, except when the arc is actually struck/in progress. What may have led to some confusion is that @Altintas is doing an interesting side project to try to retrofit digital torch control to the Sherman (and UK Jasics, by the sounds of it) - @Hood , I think, noticed that the buttons on a torch did not work. The manual was a bit weasel wordy, but what it actually appears to mean is that there are two variants - one that supports analogue control via the socket (plus on/off), and one that supports digital control via the socket. The Sherman (and UK Jasics, it appears) support only analogue control via the socket.
The hidden menu unlocks a series of settings, the most useful of which appears to be HF start on/off - https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/sherman-tig-jasic-in-disguise.93719/page-51#post-1631563

Thanks for the offer, at the moment I don't need any, just handy to have as spares. Will probably just reorder and hopefully will get this time.
Today I took my sherman at work to test it out as i run out of gas at home.
After about 6 hours of messing about with it i can honestly say that you can't go wrong buying this piece of kit.
I had to weld 72 caps today and pulse made my life so much easier.
The ark on it is very stable, very easy to set up, the beeping is a bit annoying but in a busy environment you don't really hear it as much.
Also the torch that comes with it is very uncomfortable but other than that nothing to complain about it. I had the parweld xtt 212 for a few weeks and I can honestly say in MY opinion that is actualy better than the parweld ( bear in mind that i haven't tested them on ally, and the warranty that you get with the parweld is worth the price difference ).
The welds were done with a standard collet, no 7 shroud in between 120 to 160 amps with 3 to 4hz pulse, no filler except the last 2 wich were welded on 70a no pulse 1.2 filler
So far i can't fault it. Let's hope it won't go kaboom)

Reason I bought one is not to trash the actual jasic. For the money cant really go wrong.

Excellent, thanks for that, I really appreciate it!
I thought something got deleted but can't remember what it was - presumably that's why people are PMing each other...
I'd like to see if the new batch of welders is as good as the old before I hand over my dosh though.

Ive been trying the weldes.co.uk with no look, getting error when going to payment page. Im also getting an error on weldes.de site error 403 cannot access from your location. Any ideas?Please try buy on weldes.de with EUR currency :/ we still try to make changes weldes.co.uk, but I really don't know where is the problem.. I just know that's is forbidden 403 error...
It used to only give these on mobiles and computer used to be ok. Which is what I'm going to try next.
Unless @www_weldes_de can sort something out on the inside for us??
