Tungsten Grinder for TIG Electrodes

Submitted by Mara Heneks on Tue, 11/02/2021 - 3:11am

When 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.

a temperature setting/regulator laminator

13" Laminator Machine, Four Roller, 110VAC 600 watts operating Temperature 80-180C degrees

available on eBay item #393246262909

price..85.00 plus tax, Free Shipping..

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
