first attempts tig welding...or, "how to get really fast grindingtungsten"
I grind them to run to the point as opposed to radially
I'm just a lazy bugger who got tired of the uneven grinds i got by hand
so chucked them in this wimpy cordless to get a nice even job.
BTW i DO not see in 3d SO no matter what i will ALWAYS Grind more
tungsten than the next guy all things being equal
Trust me its not a grinidng issue its a user issue
I'm worst with my filler control especially with touching the filler
direct to the tungsten. I'm getting a LOT better but it will be a decade
at least b4 i call myself good

I perconally take a tiny lightweight 4.8v drill i have
Lightly toss the tunsgten in the keyless chuck and use the drill to spin
it on the bench grinder
I also bought a pack of 10 tungstens and sharpened them all, So i vanish
for 10 minutees get a coffee and sharpen tungsten then back to welding
till i mess the 10 up again
And of Course I use 2% thoriated so you can insert the radiation jokes here
Brent,
Just trying to help here... but hopefully you are still holding the
tungsten so that the grind marks are parallel to the tungsten it's
self?
If your grind marks are going around the tungsten as opposed to inline
with it you will have a variety of problems.
