Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

[Hood]

Thanks for the help, if you don’t mind I will post some links for you guys to check before I waste money buying the wrong thing!? As for the plug, can anyone recommend an adaptor, I’m actually moving to France later this year so if it’s a french style plu on there then I may as well keep it on and use an adaptor!

This is the style although mine has a fuse.

This is the one i got, although now discontinued. I wanted one with a fuse

Here is a 13amp fused one from Farnell, seems very cheap.

Thanks I managed to get some from amazon. Where do people recommend for buying consumables/regulators etc? I was having a look on r-techs site but £9 delivery is steep!

Haha as much as I love reading the opportunity cake up at work and I thought it would make a nice change! A 5 year secondment!

I get most of my stuff from my local welding suppliers, I have dealt with the same guy for 30 plus years so get a good price

There is probably some truth in that and probably some bull as well

Was sort if expecting them to deny all knowledge of the sherman version. The fact they didn't sort of give it a little bit if provenance, understand they wouldn't want to touch it, jasic in no way shape or form endorse the machine.
Dont see how the steel can get much thicker, is a hefty case, and yes the plastics are a bit different, the jasic has a kind of rubberized coating?

As for future repair, seeing as the pcb's are the same, if you can find an independent that can repair the jasic the sherman should be a walk in the park. So long as repair cost is less than £500

Thanks for all your help @Bbe555

Anyway mate forget the Sherman for a second my bored lockdown parcel arrived this morning . This Parweld model looks to be unreal in size also . Same size as my Jasic mini View attachment 231050 View attachment 231050 model

Aye but is it any good?
Did you get much use out of the XTT 202 before you blew it up? If so how did it compare to the Jasic on the arc? Also how does the XTT212 compare to both XTT202 and Jasic?

 

[Hood]

Blew 2 202 up but don't know how . Give me an hour as wiring it in as we speak

Bloody hell, don't think I would loan you a welder

Just got shipping notification for the sherman, it is getting delivered on Thursday, pretty good from Poland if you ask me! Although it is coming via UPS so they will probably just drop kick it over the fence!

Got the same notification although I have to say UPS is my courier of choice up this way.

Ordered mine through the Weldes.de site, £497 including foot pedal and DPD delivery which seem to be best for my locality.
See how long it takes to arrive.

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Mine arrived today...ordered thro Sherman Europe web site....so that's the first test passed

 

[Hood]

I just find it strange that so many here can have new welders in their possession and yet are unable to update the forum of their performance (or otherwise) in a timely manner

 

[Hood]

I'm on the phone to Parweld mate as a couple of teething problems I think. Hold your horses

LOL, I think you should disregard your like for purple as it doesn't seem it likes you

 

[Hood]

Sounds like their fan on demand implementation requires some attention

 

[Hood]

It may be like my EWM, fan comes on when you start welding but after you stop it stays on for maybe 30 seconds then goes off.
Not that the EWM fan is loud, if you want loud get a Stealth 320p
