3mirrors ALUMINUM Tungsten Electrode Sharpener Grinder for TIG Welding Tool w/Cut-Off Slot Multi-Angle& Offsets, 4 Copper Screws Holes& 2 Upgrade CNC Mandrels& 5 25mm Diamond Wheels& Instructions

Product Information

The key component of TIG welding is the tungsten electrode itself. The electrode is the point where the welding arc, the electric arc that melts the parents material, originates from.

Like the previous ones, this grinder is also said to sharpen electrode sizes of .040" (1.0mm), 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm), and 1/8" (3.2mm). But according to some users, though it is great for 1/8", it is not so great for 3/32" and 1/16". However, it also works like a pencil sharpener. You just put the tungsten in and the work is done. You don’t need to see what happens inside. My uncle used to have a race car fabrication shop and when I was a little boy he would give me all of his tungstens to sharpen i would then take them over … Metal Fabrication Shop Owner

Synthetic whetstones like ceramic have precise grit, thus you can buy the perfect sharpening stone for your needs. You can even have multiple stones with varying grits: a fine grit stone for tools that need a razor sharp edge and a coarse grit stone for tools that work best with a rougher edge. Don’t use a hand-held belt sander for sharpening electrodes. These have all of the problems you get with angle grinders, plus you have to hold the sander upside down or grind the electrode where you can’t see it. Neither solution works very well.

Thank you, Kevin. ------------------------------------------- … PaulNot rated yet When using these crude ways of grinding, you will need to attach the wolfram rod to a drill. So that you will get a uniform grinding at all sides of the electrode. I work for a NASCAR cup team as a chassis builder. In cup shops, they are all about being clean and organized due to that fact of sponsorship appeal. We … MikeNot rated yet

Pro tip: Make sure to move the rod across the surface of the wheel. Tungsten is harder than the grinder wheel. If you run electrodes down the same strip of the wheel every time, it will wear a groove in the wheel. 3. Grind Parallel to the Rod This grinder can sharpen electrodes having diameters of .040" (1.0mm), 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm) and 1/8" (3.2mm). This can eliminate contamination of the tungsten. At the same time, it allows you to do dust-free grinding. And it comes with sparing tools by which you can do other works as well.

some even come with a vacuum bag to keep the dust filtered and contained. With all the talk about radioactive thorium dust, the vacuum bags have been pushed hard. Once you have chosen a tool to sharpen the electrode, these steps will give you a clean electrode that offers a smooth, steady arc. 1. Cut or Break Off Contamination Yes- our Tungsten grinders will produce far better point and hence a much improved, more concentrated and accurate TIG arc when TIG welding. It will be much more consistent as these are designed for the task- a reliably sharpened tip.
