New Tungsten Electrode Grinder
Ensuring your Tungsten Electrode is sharpened correctly
can help to improve weld quality.
Tungsten Electrode Grinders are a convenient,
safer and accurate way than other methods of
grinding Tungsten Electrodes. Back by popular
demand, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®
have re-initiated the manufacturing of the
TEG-2 Tungsten Electrode Grinder, which
retired from their product range a number of
years ago, under the new name of TEG-1000.
Georgia Gascoyne said: “Since we stopped
manufacturing the TEG-2 Tungsten Electrode
Grinder, we’ve been inundated with requests to bring
it back into our product range. We are excited to
announce that it’s back, with a new modern look and
attractive price.”
The use of the TEG-1000 Grinder will give repeatable
Tungsten Electrode points every time, enabling
consistent repeatable arc performance and welding
results. Sizes 1.0 to 3.2 mm can be ground as
standard, with other sizes catered for on request.
Savings can be achieved because of the increased life
of properly ground Tungsten Electrodes. With the
special collet accessory, shorter Tungsten Electrodes
can be held, significantly increasing the length of life
of each Tungsten Electrode before it is discarded.
TIG welding requires Tungsten Electrodes to have
perfectly ground and polished tips. HFT®’s TEG-
1000 provides these, time after time, to exactly the
same size and shape. The diamond wheel grinds the
Tungsten Electrodes’ longitudinally, preventing arc
flicker or wander caused by circumferential lines or
ridges found on electrodes, which have been ground
incorrectly.
With Tungsten Electrodes ground and polished,
mechanised welding can produce identical,
repeatable results ev ery time. With manual welding,
the shape of the Tungsten Electrode is just as
important. With a correctly shaped tip, the arc can
be precisely positioned with none of the preferential
arcing experienced when using poorly shaped
manually ground tips.
