Portable Tungsten Grinder

Product Details:

A Dedicated Tungsten Grinder is the Best Way to Improve Your TIG & Plasma Arc Welding
Take your weld quality to the next level and improve shop safety, while lowering tungsten use with our line of professional grade tungsten electrode grinders.  Each machine is backed by a full line of replacement parts and accessories.  Tungsten grinders are a valuable addition to any weldshop, an investment in a quality tool that will pay for itself many times over.

Before a tungsten electrode can be used, it must be ground, because in addition to the grinding quality, the grinding direction affects the arc. Important when grinding the TIG needle: The grinding direction must be longitudinal (axial) to the electrode! A bevel in the transverse direction (radial) to the TIG welding electrode causes a very restless, unstable arc. In addition, if incorrectly ground, the smallest tungsten particles can get into the weld pool and contaminate it. An axially ground tungsten electrode has good ignition properties, a stable arc and favorable electron emission.
