Product Details

The Inelco Ultima-Tig-S tungsten grinder is identical to the standard Ultima-Tig but is capable or grinding electrodes up to 8mm in diameter. The standard machine will grind up to 4mm in diameter. The machine demonstrates an eco-friendly way to grind perfect, accurate and repeatable angles on tungsten electrodes.

The Ultima-Tig-S is constructed with a unique, fully enclosed grinding chamber and dust disposal container. This enables the machine to automatically collect all toxic dust particles, giving a healthy dust free environment for the operator and eliminating the need for separate extraction systems. The sealed container can be disposed of into landfill or returned to BH Tungsten Grinders Ltd (in accordance with HSE OC 564/6 REV).

Cold wet grinding combined with the diamond wheels high grinding speed ensures that the tungsten electrode always has a polished and even surface.

With the Ultima-Tig-S you will achieve the exact angle that you require. A special locking device positions the electrode precisely resulting in minimum waste. The grinding operation is carried out in the correct longitudinal direction along the electrode. A precise angle is not only important to the quality of the welding seams, but it also increases the number of re-ignitions between grinding, thus prolonging the electrode life.

The Ultima-Tig-S is easy to use. Place the electrode in the electrode holder. Adjust the pointer to the required grinding angle and insert the tungsten electrode into the combined stick-out and locking device. After the grinding has taken place, you can, if needed, flatten the tip by placing the angle adjust unit in the 90-degree position.

Due to the use of an electrode holder, the Ultima-Tig-S 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 Ultima-Tig is CE marked and meets 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 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.

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.
