nomally pointing down aswellTungstens should be ground perpendicular to the grinding face I believe.
Ooh, I grind mine pointing up.nomally pointing down aswell
So I'd grind on the flat face of that wheel75-200mm Diamond Grinding Wheel Sharpener Grinder Disc Carbide Metal Cutter Tool | eBay

Why ?
YepSo I'd grind on the flat face of that wheel

Might work out better to buy yet another bench grinder but a 6" one
Cheaper wheels for sure for a dedicated tungsten grinder.Might work out better to buy yet another bench grinder but a 6" one
3 bench grinders might be nice, can convert the tungsten 8" one to buffing wheels.Cheaper wheels for sure for a dedicated tungsten grinder.
Yeah, that'll be 3 I've got then. Only bought this 8" one back in march to use for my electrodes. Seems like a smaller 6" might be a good optionJust go buy a 20 quid bench grinder, and job done.
Think it's just a crappy soft wheel that came with the grinder. My other 8" that I use for everything else has been the same wheel for years.How have you worn out an eight inch wheel in a year, just sharpening tungstens?
I haven't worn out a six inch wheel grinding tungstens, lathe tools and drill bits, for nearly ten years!
