Product Details

The Neutrix is a portable Tungsten grinder that is both environmentally friendly and able to grind quality points on Tungsten electrodes for TIG and plasma welding.

The Neutrix is the only machine that is equipped with an integrated dust filter, thereby protecting the operator and the environment against the unhealthy dust produced during the grinding of the electrode. The filter is replaceable.

Due to the use of an electrode holder, the Neutrix can grind electrodes as short as 15mm with a standard electrode clamp, and 8mm with a special electrode clamp. The use of the electrode holder also ensures a precise and concentric tip every time. The integral length gauge and locking device makes sure that only the minimum amount of electrode is removed during the grinding process. This gives an instant cost saving as wasted tungsten is kept at a minimum.

The Neutrix is equipped with an inspection cover enabling the operator to see the grinding operation. The Neutrix is easy to operate, set the required grinding angle and secure the electrode into the holder using the locking device. The electrode is now set to minimise the amount of grinding required (0.3mm removal). Grinding takes place in the correct longitudinal direction along the electrode.

One unique feature of the Neutrix is that it is equipped with an eccentric plate, which makes it possible to adjust the grinding position on the face of the wheel, this triples the life of the diamond wheel.

The Neutrix is supplied in a case fully equipped for use, electrode clamps for 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 diameter tungstens are included, other sizes are available. The storage case along with the moderate weight make the Neutrix ideal for working on site.

The Neutrix tungsten grinder is CE marked and is manufactured to meet all applicable EU directives.

Tungsten Sharpening FAQs

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

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.

In which direction should I grind the tungsten?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Grinding lengthways is generally recommended, so the grinding marks run along the tungsten towards the tip rather than around it. Marks running along the length usually help the arc run straight from the tip, while marks around the electrode can make the arc wander or spread.

A dedicated grinder with a holder usually takes care of this by holding the tungsten at a fixed position. If you grind by hand, hold the tungsten steady and keep the marks pointing towards the tip. Check your tungsten maker's guidance as well.

What is a wet grinding system and how does it differ from dry?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

In a wet system, a liquid is used at the grinding wheel to keep the work cool and to trap the fine tungsten dust, so less dust is released into the air. Dry systems usually have an extraction or filter instead.

Some grinders supply a liquid for wet cutting and grinding. Follow the maker's instructions for the correct liquid and its disposal. Whichever system you use, treat the dust with care and keep to the maker's guidance.

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.
