The portable Fronius TIG Tungsten Grinder is extremely versatile and user-friendly, with self-containing capabilities to prevent any harmful grinding dust from releasing into the workshop atmosphere. It is supplied with a carry case, accessories, operating manual, and UK plug adaptor.

Features

  • The adjusting ring guarantees maximum use of the diamond grinding disc which can be used on both sides in three different positions
  • A precise grinding tool, with uniform longitudinal grinding, allows perfection every time
  • An ideal machine for face-grinding electrodes to free them from welding spatter and preparing conical electrode tips for specific applications
  • Can be selected as standard: 1/16" (1.6mm), 5/64” (2mm), 3/32" (2.4mm) and 1/8" (3.2mm)
  • The orbital setting allows for the possibility of dressing tungsten electrodes up to 15mm in length

Tungsten Sharpening FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using equipment for sharpening TIG tungsten electrodes.

Why does the shape of the tungsten tip matter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The tip shape controls how the arc behaves. A sharper point gives a narrower, more focused arc that suits thin material and low current, and is easy to start. A blunter tip, or one with a small flat on the end, handles higher current without the tip melting and gives a more stable arc with deeper penetration.

A poorly ground or irregular tip makes the arc wander, flicker or start badly. Grinding the tip properly and consistently is one of the easiest ways to improve TIG weld quality.

Why use a dedicated tungsten grinder instead of a bench grinder?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A dedicated grinder holds the tungsten at a fixed, repeatable angle, so every tip comes out the same, and it grinds with a wheel used only for tungsten. This avoids contaminating the tip with other metals, which would affect the arc. Many also catch the dust.

A general bench grinder is harder to control, the angle varies, and a wheel that has ground steel will pass particles onto the tungsten. If you do use a bench grinder, use a wheel kept only for tungsten.

What angle and shape should I grind?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

It depends on your current, the material, the tungsten type and the machine. In general, a longer, sharper taper gives a narrower, more focused arc for thin work and low current, while a shorter, blunter taper tends to cope better with higher current and gives deeper penetration. For DC work a small flat at the tip is often used.

For AC welding, including aluminium, the tip is often blunter or lightly rounded, but this varies with the tungsten type. Follow the guidance from your machine and tungsten makers, then adjust by trial welds.

Is tungsten dust dangerous?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Grinding dust should be controlled whatever the tungsten type. Thoriated tungsten is mildly radioactive, and the main concern is breathing in or swallowing the dust, so many workshops use other types. The dust of any type is an irritant that you should not breathe in, and the sparks and fragments are an eye hazard.

Grind with dust extraction or a system that captures it, wear eye protection, avoid blowing dust away, and wash your hands afterwards. Follow the HSE guidance, the maker's instructions and your own risk assessment, including for disposal of the dust.
