All welders wear a helmet and mask when welding and extraction systems are installed to improve the working environment for the welders. But several times a day, when Tungsten electrodes have to be ground, welders often use an open belt or bench grinder putting themselves at risk. When grinding Tungsten electrodes, welders are exposed to hazardous dust inhalation, metal particle projections and a higher risk of accidents due to direct contact with the grinding wheel or belt. To improve the welders' safety when grinding, we strongly recommend using one of our safe grinders, which all collect the grinding dust and where the grinding of the electrode takes place in a closed chamber.

A precise angle is not only important for the quality of the welding seam; the number of re-ignitions between re-grinding is also increased. Working with an open belt or bench grinder lacks precision. The welder will need more attempts to get the correct geometry required for the weld. With every regrind comes a loss of app. 1mm-2mm. Using an angle adjustment and clamping system centres the electrode, so that the grinding is carried out in the desired angle and correct longitudinal direction of the electrode.

The angle varies depending on the welding application and the welding parameters and it is important to choose the right angle to give the best welding result. All our grinders are equipped with a variable angle setting, so no matter what angle you prefer, our grinders can grind it.

This depends entirely on how much the individual TIG welder welds, where and what welding application is used. However, WE can calculate this with the help of our calculator app. In this app we can make a calculation on the basis of the customer’s data. Contact us if we need to make a calculation of your savings.

The average length of an electrode is between 150mm and 175mm and most often, a welder will throw it out when it reaches approximately 50mm in length. This means that more than 25 % of the electrode will never be put to use. Our grinders can grind electrodes as short as 8mm, so much more of the electrode will be used for welding and waste of the electrode is reduced.

We recycle the grinding dust from grinding Tungsten electrodes, as we at Inelco Grinders^® would like to contribute to a more sustainable development. You therefore have the option of sending your grinding dust for recycling completely free of charge.
