The one thing I needed but didn’t have was an adaptor to make the plug fit a uk socket so I had to cut the original plug off and fit a uk one.

don’t like the idea of an adaptor what plug did you fit? 13amp or 16amp?
would prefer a 16amp plug. Think I will send them a email and ask if it voids warranty if you change plugs. My r tech mig came with no plug. So hopefully won’t void warranty if I cut it of.

Just a 13amp.

If you're unhappy with the fused 13A plug - schuko adapters from a restrictive capacity, you could make a short commando-schuko (i.e. 16A both ends) adapter if you're concerned re warranty.
I did that for my Sherman mig, but mainly use it on a schuko-13A fused adapter when practising.
For the Tig, like several others though, I just cut the schuko off and put a PCE 16A plug on. It would be difficult to see how a reasonable warranty claim could be refused on a replaced plug.
Only issue with the 16A adapter plan is the cost of inline schuko sockets. Think it was cheaper to get a 5m extension from Amazon last time I needed the socket

@JonnyM I removed the cables from the potentiometer and connected them all together.
now the base amps can be set from 20 to 200 amps for pulsing
I haven't welded with it yet

Found an fused schuko adapter in the garage will use it to make sure it works before I walk the plug of it. All I need is the welder to show up now. Hate waiting on things to arrive.

So it is stuck at 200Amps for main current but the pot on the torch allows you to set the pulse current lower?
of course it works normally without a pedal
But there are people who want to use a pedal
@www_weldes_de
can we exchange the plug by the Sherman Digitig 206p without loosing the guarantee?

How that the cost of machine + postage + tax import = to a European union e-shop bought machine?
I bought from weldes in the past , not a welder but the product came without issues, can´t say about warranty cause i never need it. This is the third facelift since i remember . It loss products variety and the prices gone up a bit (even when we included the free postages)
weldes.de how does this machines compared to fachowiec MINI JET TIG AC/DC 200 IGBT ?
fachowiec has some good reviews on this machine and its heavier 15kg vs 8 kg
can you confirm this scale from better to worst
fachowiec
magnum
bester
?
its hard to get a polish welding site that is up to date.

Yes you can change the plug and you will not lose warranty.
We have 2-year warranty.
So when something is broken, there is just to let me know with address on email and we send the GLS collection. After we receive welder it's depends from Sherman (Tecweld) how quick they fix it. Usually it's couple days, but not more than 2 weeks. After fix we send it back to customer. Delivery European Union -> Poland and Poland -> European Union it's free.
Basically, all these companies use China manufacturers to produce their devices. You can easily check for example Kramer Bi-Pulse / Magnum 214 Dual Puls / Sherman Digimig 200 Pulse - it's the same devices.
For sure Fachowiec has exclusivity in import MINI JET TIG and all JET TIG Series devices in Poland, in UK similar is Everlast. I think is best devices for welding various aluminum alloys by selecting four types of waveform. JET TIG series also have original Parker torches which is very customizable.

on the outside for sure but in the inside? same grade of components???

i ask this because i read very good reviews of the jet tig welders , the mini version is more for my price range, the digitig 206 i haven´t hear much of , but sherman has 3 or 4 ac cd welder for the same price range.
