If it's the same as mine then you need ¼" or 6.5mm internal diameter.
Get the Jasic or Razorweld manual.... No manual in English let alone Dutch (only Polish.....) But I will find it out one day what all the buttons will do....

the sherman comes with a 3.2mm collet body, and a 1.6 collet and 1.6mm tungsten, that's likely why they dont grip it properly.
So near to being able to start practicing with the sherman tig,
Got the gas cylinder, sits nicely behind the rear left corner of my toolbox (a 10 litre cylinder would fit by the side of it, but this is 20 litres):

I even found my old valve key in my toolbox from when i last had argoshield for the mig (~17 years ago) Everything was gettin oh so close..
When i bought the welder i also bought 3 meters of 8mm gas hose, the only hose sold on the weldes shop appart from the twin oxy acetylene stuff, so i figured it'd fit the usual rectus 21 fittings most of their welders come with.
So when i went to fit it to the rectus fitting and regulator it was too loose, i have a set of those single ear crimp on clamps, and even forcing the next size down clamp on and crimping it, it leaks if moved.
Buggggeerrrr!
The regulator and rectus fittings hose barbs are just over 6mm, so should i be looking for 5mm ID hose for this?
Ordered a new regulator, a starparts (wilkinson star) / GTech 2 stage, 2 gauge argon regulator.

It's like it's triggering an excess flow valve or something, yet the most i got on the output gauge is 4 bar before it stops, tried the output knob in all positions, it just won't flow
