Your bench grinder will turn it far too fast. You want a 1500 grit disc turning at about about 400rpm for lapping an already-made edge. For profiling your radius you want about 320 grit.

Thanks all for the info. will probably go Rennsteig initially for the hand scraper with a view to making my own when I get the hang of it - will need something custom for the dovetails anyway. Is this the type of disc needed to re-grind the edge on the tungsten...

@123hotchef It could be that the spindle of your grinder is not the same size as the bore on these disks, so that's why you could possibly need an adapter. The one Pete brings up has the grinding media on the side, having it on the circumference like a normal grinding disk is probably easier...

Just cut it with a standard aluminium oxide abrasive disc, it’ll make a neat enough job for what you want, no need for a diamond cutting wheel. After all most sharpen a tungsten on a grinding wheel (alu oxide) And rather than soldering, why not drill a hole in the end of the bolt just smaller...

The tungsten grinder by Hudmut is still one of my most used tools!! So bad that he stopped making them. I haven't seen him here for quite a while.

Just bought one of the above to use with the tig tungsten grinder made by Hudmut, one of our members. I have a cordless Dremmel that I usually use with it, But saw this Aldi one and I will now leave it permanently attached. speed is adjustable between 5000 and 2500, Very surprised that it runs...

I needed some burrs so I made the guy an offer on the 14 piece set for £35. Should keep me going until retirement (at least..):laughing:

Had a quick search old emails, my scary one is this, and cost me a fiver a few years ago. The teeth are very deep and agressive, guess it needs much higher speed. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Garryson-Carbide-Burr-GT4700D-6mm-Shank-12mm-Head-Tree-End/202991079283 Anyway this set might do what you need...

So due to the impressive and seemingly limitless knowledge on this fourm We all collectively must have learned enough hits, tips, tricks, safe short cuts and elements of best practice in our lives that we could all share too help each other along in our quests. Please keep them reasonalble and...

BTW the point in that post where i said "which i dont"... Just reading that, it comes across yo me as saying i dont dip my tungstens? By that reply above, i just meant i don't bother cutting the end off just clean any crud off, resharpen and cary on. Anyone that says they dont dip tungstens or...

My 2 pence worth, go and get decent consumables. CK stuff is about all I use. Tungsten, I use Thoriated (red tipped) as I only do DC but by all accounts 2% Lanthinated (blue tipped) is very good as an all around electrode. Cups, again CK worldwide and no 7 in size should see you right for the...

...TIG welding follow the same pattern it being the learning curve; puddle dipping and producing soot diminishes with practice as does tungsten grinding. My problem isn't welding it's our dire climate; a few minutes ago the horizontal "light" rain was lashing into our bungalow front and it's...

As Richard says, don’t buy cheap filler. Honestly it can frustrate the hell out of you and will make you want to give up. Buy decent materials and you’ll get the hang of it quicker. some good first attempts there too mate, I’ve never used the pulse function on any tig I’ve used so can’t comment...

The only one I own that runs smooth enough to not be bolted down is a creusen. I only ever used it for tungsten grinding. I have never tried sharpening drill bits but I would think it would need fixing down for that as you would just end up pushing it around unless you only grind drill bits at...

...I'm happy and found lots of new problems to play with. Kind regards, Colin. WOW how bad can I get; lots of puddle dipping and tungsten grinding; welding thin to thick and the curvature add to the fun; I tried lots of different amps and tried using both 1.6mm & 2.5mm filler rods. Not a...

if im butt welding aluminium i scrape the edges before fit up and clean the wire with steel wool , the back of the join has to be cleaned too and not resting on any thing that can cause gassing ie wooden bench or cold back up fixtures ( condensation then steam ) abrasives should be...

Ive had a nice quiet afternoon looking at grinding wheels, now there’s a mine field,:doh: straight wheels, bowl wheels, cup wheels, then there’s the abrasion, silicon wheels, diamond wheels, grey wheels white wheels even pink wheels, :worms the list and shape and colour seams endless let alone...

So I've been welding Alu for a good few years and like to think I know a fair amount about it. However I went to help out @stuvy yesterday on a classic car resto. Body panels are aluminium. I prepped everywhere I needed to weld by grinding back the surface to bare aluminium, acetone, brush...
