Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

[MikeyG1974]

Cheers guys, I'll have to check but i'm sure its a 20A C type breaker for a radial leg, thinking about it I could possibly put a 32A drop on my garage ring main which is on a 32A MCB anyway as long as i'm not powering anything serious on it at the same time.

Hi,
16A C type should be fine.
I'm running mine on a 13A plug while I wait to the schuko to cee adapter to turn up.
My Portamig 185 is on a C16 no problems with that either.
Cheers

Got the Sherman/Jasic plug put on the WP18 torch and made up the second adapter. I need to make the adapters as the stealth requires things wired differently depending on whether a 3 button insert or a potentiometer insert is used on the torch.
I also got out the label printer and made labels up so that I know which is which.

I installed the new board unfortunately the ampere value in the display does not change

and the two leds for the vrd display do not light up

the software is difinitive on the board because a few settings have changed

Bit of mix and match from the air rifle spares bin, bit of threading, bit of cutting and we are away...

No laughing please...

So adding the extra board was to try and get the display to vary its amperage when you adjust the amperage on the foot peadal or on the torch. Or is it to try and add this functionality becase for now all the torch buttons and peadal do is start and stop the process.

Thats a more justifiable price for 5 year warranty.

Bet it wont be covered by Wilkinson Star.

Of course not ,it is no UK version

I agree but the post above mine seemed to imply otherwise.

What i was meaning if the sherman is the exactsame welder with only two years warranty for £500 quid, £700 odd seems more reasonable to myself for the extra 3 years warranty but thats just me.

I reckon wilkinson star will wash their hands of those foreign ones. The1300 quid pays for the five year warranty. Not the orange paint job.

You don't need to reckon, it is a definite
The 5 year warranty requires you to register the set online with the serial number from a label that is applied to the machine by Wilkinson Star, no label, no serial, no extended warranty.

Oh they will most definitely but my logic is if the exact same machine can be sold with 2 years warranty for £500. You cannot in anyway justify an extra £800 for and additional 3 years warranty. Concidering there may never be a problem with the welder in those 5 warranty years.

How long are this new batch taking to turn up then and are they the same as the ones mentioned in the original batch?

 

[Altintas]

which one do we need 5k , 10k, 47k?

Probably won't matter too much but the one I have on my Parweld is 10K I think. Will go and double check in a minute as I brought it home for swapping out the plug.
