Tungsten electrode grinder design
revamped
With the latest tungsten electrode grinder, dust is no longer thrown upwards towards the operator's face while grinding and the operator can now see more clearly how the grinding is progressing.

The TEG - 3, continues to be manufactured in the UK to European CE regulations and conforms to all required standards.
It has been designed especially for the grinding of tips on tungsten electrodes as used in TIG and Plasma welding.
This useful tool will axially grind all diameters tungsten welding electrode from 1.0 to 6.4mm and lengths down to 15mm with the aid of the special collet accessory.
A long life diamond wheel that gives the equivalent of 3 man years of grinding life is fitted and it is protected by a front cover preventing the grinding of other materials, thus eliminating the risk of adding contamination to the electrodes, which would transfer to and contaminate the weld pool.
A low cost vacuum unit to extract the dust is available for bolting onto the side of the grinder as an accessory.
A powerful high speed motor provides the correct speed for diamond grinding of tungsten and is available for use on either 110 volt or 220 volt single phase connection. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
