Really useful.Hi,
Some useful basic setup guides here... https://www.jasic.co.uk/tig-200p-mini-acdc-documents
Cheers
Since I got the plugs today I thought I might as well put them to use.
I have used a plug from the Stealth 320p and mated it to a socket from the ones I got today thus making an adapter for my WP20 if I wan't to connect it to the Stealth. I will also have to make another for connecting my WP18 torch so I can connect it to the Sherman if I want but will have to swap the plug on it to the same as the Sherman one first.
Anyway it works out quite nice seeing as the Sherman/Jasic socket is so small in comparison to the one on the Stealth.

With a plug connected showing what it would look like when a torch is plugged in.

No idea what R-Tech use but if you are meaning the Stealth plug then it is a 12pin Sinocontec.That plug looks remarkably similar to the plugs that R-Tech use on their TIG machines...

There is an an adapter from hose to plug on the machine. I just need a 3/8 female hose adapter. I have plenty of hose for a temp fix....Neil - I don't think there is anything (next day or otherwise) on Amazon that does exactly what you need.
You'll need a 3/8 BSP (swivel) fitting for the reg, some suitable hose, and possibly a rectus 21 female fitting (though my Sherman came with that - a 5 or 6mm barb, I think), and suitable hose clips (I prefer the ear crimp type), plus pinchers if required to secure the hose to the fittings.
(similarly, just got a cheap Parker plasma - with reg, etc, all you'd need - but not even a short length of hose to go from reg to the back of the unit. It's 8mm, and all my stock is 6mm. Bloomin' typical )
I'll have a look now though...
I feel your pain. NG9? You’re unlikely to want to drive to Sussex to pick one up from me, but you might be lucky if you can find a canal boat chandlery near you that is (a) open and (b) stocks fittings for gas and fuel installations. Maybe Sawley Marina Chandlery (Open until 5 pm today) or Midland Chandlery (you’ll have to be very quick or live next door as they close at 4 today!).Gah....
There is no gas hose from the gas flow reg to the welder.
Can anyone provide an amazon prime next day link to what I need please.
Desperate to get going!

Looking to get a TIG and at first I didnt consider the Sherman and have put it down as a cheap chinese unit but coming here it seems not, so looks like the 206P has gone top of my list as I was looking to go R Tech like my MIG 180 but at £1250 for the 170 is a bit ouchy..
Only question I have regarding the 206P is power requirements, I have tried to read most of this thread but not seen any mentions on supply needed? It looks to be a little power hungry compared to my R Tech MIG which I run on a 16A plug without issue, I know this TIG is rated at 200 but whats the most you have got out of it safely if you only have a 16A supply? I'm not in a position to upgrade to a 32A yet.
I'm not likely to need to max it on thin stainless and possibly 3-4mm Aluminium.
Thanks
I only have a 16a supply, and it didn’t put me off. Since you were thinking of an R tech anyway on your existing supply I can’t see a problem - try it and if it constantly trips the mcb that would be the time to sort out a 32a radial and socket (or keep it wound down a bit for the time being).Looking to get a TIG and at first I didnt consider the Sherman and have put it down as a cheap chinese unit but coming here it seems not, so looks like the 206P has gone top of my list as I was looking to go R Tech like my MIG 180 but at £1250 for the 170 is a bit ouchy..
