griding tungsten

Re: griding tungsten
yeah it called using the wheel for things other then tungsten, it called contamination. only use grinding wheels for one metal, once i ground some titanium and then i sharpened my tungsten with the same wheel and then when i welded with it it threw off all these white sparks and ----, was crazy as hell.

Re: griding tungsten
i sharpen my tungsten on a hf belt sander i picked up for $60 and then i buy there 5 pack of 4" belts. super cheap and it is powerfull enough to sand a small turbo flange or dp flane flat after welding.
also i have never had problem welding up to 130 ish amps putting a point on my tungsten. so i'm guessing your talking about way up there in amps?

Re: griding tungsten
The tungsten grinder I have used is similar to this, ALOT cheaper than that grinder CSaddict posted and it works great, I think the grinder itself only cost like $20-$30 and the wheels are covered in tiny diamonds, they are like $20-$30 but last a long time. I've never seen/used one like SCaddict has but i'm sure its badass you get what you pay for
