Well now that's a good idea and nicely completed. I like the idea of keeping the guide up high like you say, so you can still use the bottom part of the wheel.
Alles soweit Gut. Bis auf diese Scheibe , habe ich das auch seid Jahren. Nehme seid Neusten eine Anschleif Hilfe mit dazu. Mess den Abstand, dann kommen immer wieder die Selben Abstände. Und must dann nicht Laufend die Nadel Raus ziehen und Schauen ob es Past. Gruß aus Deutschland. Ralf
@@1970chevelle396 I grind with my drill and have a cermetrical circle 🔵 no flat spots . The Current flows along the fine lines of the tungsten . if there is a small flat it will change the penatration into the metal and the arc . Try it , put a slight flat into the tungsten , weld , then cut the test piece , clean and acid wash . Keep in mind the shape (15 ,30, 60 deg flat 60 deg ) of the tungsten dictates the dig depth and arc shape . I am not trying to tell you to change the way you weld just pointing out something you might not be aware of I have been using the same diamond wheel upwards of 20 years for tungsten grinding on a 6 inch craftsman grinder .I made my guide with a degree meter so I can grind at any angle I need .up to 68 degrees any more is pointless .
that came out nice. Might end up with 3 grooves in your wheel but it's dedicated so ....... doesn't really matter I guess. Wheel coming at you makes me think there could be a risk of it tossing a rod back atcha ...... is that possible?
Good job Ken, you will get a perfect tip every time with that setup
Thanks

Thanks for sharing. Just the idea I was looking for. Have you tried putting the electrodes in a small drill chuck to get a good even grind?
Thanks. No I haven’t tried putting them in a drill chuck. They come out great doing it by hand.

Great job
Thanks
Piece of advice use your cordless drill to get a better grind on the tungsten .
Not necessarily. The grind came out perfect.

With this type of grinding wheel it won’t wear grooves in it. It grinds real nice and doesn’t try to throw the tungstens back out.
Diamond is harder than tungsten. It's not going to wear a groove into it like a grit wheel.
