About this deal

To heat the electrode up, you can use a propane torch or just grind it against a piece of metal. Once the electrode is red hot, you just need to dip the heated end to the powder. By dipping it in and out of the chemical, the end of the electrode will begin to taper. You can get a long taper by dipping a longer tip of the electrode. The length that you dip will taper. First off, I'm not a welder. I'm the EH&S manager for an industrial service company. We have tig operations in 2 fixed facilities as well as multiple … Uhh...

If there is a system of cutting the contaminated part of the tungsten easily, it becomes comfortable for you. Taking time for grinding:Unless you’re on a very low amperage, we recommend slightly flattening the tip of the electrode one you have sharpened it. A sharp tip does help arc starts and is okay on low amperage, however you risk melting the tip and releasing part of the electrode into the weld pool,

Hey guys! I did a search and found very little regarding the product Chem-Sharp, so I thought I would chime in. The one quote I found regarding this … Dump the overthink in the overthink can.. This works GREAT. This convenient tool will save you a lot of time. You will no longer need to stop your welding project to get up and go to your bench grinder to sharpen your tungsten. Now you have the tungsten sharpener right there at the job, and time is money. Pro Fabricator & TIG Welder Review Stainless Alloys Products to meet the process requirements of many stainless steel and high alloy welding applications. Thanks for the input and articles. I'm sort of self-directed on tig training (meaning I have a machine and am teaching myself with input wherever I can … Tool Maker/FabricatorNot rated yet 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.

If you own a TIG welder you need this tool. Increase arc control, increase arc stability, eliminate porosity with contaminated tungsten electrodes, eliminate arc wander on outside corners, create better looking, stronger and better penetrating welds with consistent and accurate tungsten prepared points. As it needs a good amount of money to buy a grinder, you should choose one that lasts long. If a cheaper grinder doesn't last much, that is a loss for you. So, select a long-lasting grinder. Replacement Parts: Sharp electrodes (small included angle) produce wider weld bead, easier arc starting, consistent arc, less weld penetration, and using less welding current.

Diamond sharpeners consist of a steel (or some other material) base with a thin diamond coating. Diamond sharpeners are great for restoring very dull blade as they take off a lot of material in a short time. Diamond wheels are also effective for this type of task. You can create a makeshift wolfram grinder by attaching a diamond wheel head to the tip of a regular drill. And then use it to sharpen your tungsten. Another solution for contamination of bench grinders is to buy a dedicated grinder for electrodes only. You can get a cheap grinder at a tool shop like Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. These aren’t heavy-duty tools to last a lifetime, but how much time do you spend grinding electrodes? A cheap grinder is one easy solution. 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. Underneath is a ceramic sharpener for scissors. This is also the sharpener to use for honing an already sharp knife, pair of shears or pruner.

Why do I need a dedicated tungsten grinder?

If you are a beginner at this, it is best to use the best practices when grinding your tungsten electrodes. You should use the commercially available grinders from hardware shops or online stores. The prices of these tools vary depending on the brand and the features they offer.
