Tungsten Grinder for TIG Electrodes
Submitted by Mara Heneks on Tue, 11/02/2021 - 3:11amWhen you're TIG welding it's usually important to have a sharp and clean tip on your tungsten electrode. To keep from getting contaminated welds from grinding on a grinding stone used for other things, it's best to use a specific grinding wheel for welding tungstens. It's also helpful to have a jig for getting the right angle. This tool does everything in one and can just live in the welding area to keep it only used for welding.

Unit is unlabeled.. but made by Pouch
Although this unit is made for laminating plastic.... it will work for transferring b/w toner onto copper
I would like it to be labeled for that purpose only on the Electronics bench..
I am concerned that using it for other purposes may cause problems when making PCBs
