\"Sharpie<\/a>Since we introduced the Sharpie\u2122 tungsten electrode sharpener<\/a> back in 2000 (that’s 15 years ago!) \u00a0it has remained one of our most popular products.<\/p>\n

Not only is it a cool tool to have in your shop, with a dedicated tungsten grinder you can improve the quality of your TIG welds and lower your tungsten usage.<\/p>\n

The Sharpie\u2122 tungsten grinder<\/a> is a hand-held tool that preps tungsten electrode sizes .040″, 1\/16″, 3\/32″ and 1\/8″ (1.0mm, 1.6mm, 2.4mm\u00a0 and 3.2mm) quickly, easily and consistently. You can sharpen an electrode, and with the Deluxe model you can set the angle of the point, and repeat it over and \u00a0over again. The standard model has a pre-set grind angle that is good for most welding applications.<\/p>\n

The Sharpie ships with a long-life double-sided diamond grinding wheel <\/a>and produces \u00a0longitudinal grinds for consistent welds, deeper penetration and less re-work. You can also use it to to produce a tip flat–tungsten electrodes ground to a pointed tip can burn off and contaminate your weld puddle. \u00a0<\/p>\n

With the built-in cut-off option, you can remove only the contaminated portions of the electrode. No more breaking electrodes which causes splintering of the tungsten, reducing electrode performance.<\/p>\n

The PRO Kit is the way to go if you want to make sure you’ve got all the accessories you’ll need in one sturdy kit box.
