Product Details

The Ultima Tig Cut combines the standard grinding unit on the front of the machine with a tungsten cutting module on the rear. The tungstens can be ground in the usual way and then cut to a precise length, safely and quickly without splitting the electrode. The grinder demonstrates an eco-friendly way to grind and cut perfect, accurate and repeatable angles on tungsten electrodes.

The Ultima Tig Cut is constructed with a unique, fully enclosed grinding and cutting chamber with dual dust disposal containers. 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 Cut 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 Cut 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 electrode clamp in the 90-degree position. The electrode can then be cut to the required length using the cutter module on the rear of the machine. Electrodes as short as 8mm are possible without splitting the electrode.

Due to the use of an electrode holder, the Ultima Tig 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 al so ensures a precise and concentric tip every time.

The Ultima Tig Cut 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.

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.

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.

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.
