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 more 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 was retired from their product range a number of years ago .
It has an updated design with a number of improvements and the model name is now the TEG- 1000 .
Georgia Gascoyne , CEO said : “ Since we stopped manufacturing the TEG-2 Tungsten Electrode Grinder , we ’ ve had many 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 . Diameters 1.0 to 3.2 mm can be ground as standard , with other sizes catered for with standard accessories available as extras .
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 every 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 .
