How to Sharpen Tungsten Electrodes with a CK Worldwide Grinder

• Preparation: Before you begin, make sure your CK Worldwide Tungsten Grinder is plugged in and the grinding wheel is dressed and balanced. You should also wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from flying debris.

• Grinding Angle: The recommended grinding angle for tungsten electrodes is between 20 and 60 degrees. The CK Worldwide Tungsten Grinder has a built-in guide to help you achieve the correct angle.

• Grinding Technique: Start by lightly grinding the tip of the electrode until you remove any contamination or oxidation. Then, slowly grind the electrode along the side, maintaining the desired angle. Be careful not to over-grind the electrode, as this can reduce its lifespan.

• Inspecting the Electrode: Once you've finished grinding, inspect the electrode for any cracks or imperfections. If you see any, discard the electrode and start with a new one.

Tips for Pro Sharpening

• Use a light touch when grinding. Too much pressure can damage the electrode.

• Keep the grinding wheel clean and free of debris. This will help to ensure a smooth and consistent grind.
