Hi, I like to make useful items for my workshop. A few years ago I needed to sharpen carbide tipped tooling for my engineering lathe and also masonry drill bits; standard grinding wheels are useless and I don't find green grit wheels efficient so I wondered if I could rig up an high speed...

...will work on pulse? I'm now out of gas but it's been enjoyable just getting the hang of using the torch; no puddle dipping and no tungsten grinding; I've been running beads or rather filling in between previous beads; this has been excellent practice; watching the bead sides puddle as I fed...

Hi, Thanks Munkul. :thumbup: Jody has made lots of very useful welding tutorials and I've watched quite a few of them but not the one you kindly included above which I've just watched in its entirety finding it interesting. I have problems with dipping but there was something else wrong with...

Hi, More practice this afternoon. Kind regards, Colin. 4mm thick aluminium; sorry about poor picture. Just practicing running beads; triangular section joint. I'm now getting the hang of "dimes" which are starting to appear so I'm well on my way. I weld right to left; the burn at the...

Hi, A lot of running around today including yet another trip over to Dewsbury; the 9L argon cylinders had been delivered this morning so now I've got a full 9L and an half full 9L to play with; it is the 20L Ultra cylinders they stock not the 20L high pressure I want so if I want to trade up...

i have used the Ultima ones a lot enclosed diamond wheel with liquid work very well ! downside £1500 ish if your 100 ft up a tower or jammed in a corner its good old angle grinder still got all me fingers after 40 years Hse might disagree though

Got some of the Neutrix ones at work, they're very good.

https://www.mygeniusgift.com/products/domom-10-in-1-tungsten-steel-grinding-head-set-10pcs?variant=29538168078397 Anyone got any experience of these? It says 10 but there's actually 11 shown in the picture.:laughing:

The problem I find is the coating jumps straight on to the tungsten. You spent more time grinding than welding. Gas brazing will be fine but tig brazing will give the same issues. If it's been galvanized it's a complete pain as the zinc seems to come from everywhere even after you think you...

Maybe I’ll try the gas lenses again once I’ve bought some better quality ones. Who knows as long as I can build exhausts and tinker some stuff on the car then I’m fairly happy lol I appreciate that. It would seem I’ve missed all the useful videos and jumped straight to the “ohhh shiny”...

Good evening @Jaffman. 1. grinding the tungsten radially to longitudinally, I personally didn't notice any difference, that is not to say that there isn't. After doing my TIG ticket they said that longitudinally is the correct method so have done ever since. 2. the gas lense setup 'appears' to...

I had one off him for a friend of mine and it's a good tool, he still uses it daily.

There used to be a member here called Hudmut who made tungsten grinding attachments that screw onto the head of a Dremel, he's not been online for a year though. What's wrong with just freehanding it? :dontknow:

After using this for a while, I'm totally converted, should have done this years ago. I made a tungsten guide with a hole drilled through a bolt and a bracket bodged up ontop of the grinding rest on mine, and now sharpening tungstens is so effortless, I find myself sharpening the same tungsten...

That's the way it seemed to read to me, the only way to sharpen a tungsten with a flat stone and a drill would be to hold the tungsten in the drill chuck...hence my remark regarding the grinding marks.

I agree with you on this one @zzr1200, no way should you use a drill on a flat stone, maybe use drill with a grinding wheel??? but I’ve sharpened many things on a bench grinder so no drill required, all hands

Wonderweaver, there a few peeps on here who are very well respected and definitely know their stuff and Richard is one of them. In post #2 you stated "Ok tungsten grind it to a sharp point on a high grit even a flat sharpening stone and a drill will work.". The grinding marks should run...

Hi guys first post here (no doubt will be more in future ) I’ve been asked to weld up some stainless steel exhausts for a mate to use on his turbos he sells. (Guy he brought off before has retired) Now I haven’t had much tig welding experience but MMA an mig are all good, as I use them quite a...

Sharpening tig tungstens on any stone grinding wheel puts grooves in it, no matter how careful you are & will ruin the wheel for sharpening anything else! I definitely wouldn't let anyone near a tormek with a tig tungsten! As has been said, get a cheap bench grinder & keep it just for tig...

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this idea but would like to hear from anyone that's tried it. I need something to sharpen 5-12mm drill bits and roughly sharpen cold chisels and the like. I don't own a bench grinder and generally don't don't like them anyway. In work I'll sharpen...
