pretty cool

 

its just to hold the tungsten, so it spins on your grinding wheel. tried it, rather spin it with my hands.

 

Seems like you could prob make one of these yourself. esp if your into any type of fab work. Might give you a little project to take up some time. If you decide to get it, let us know if its worth it.

 

I've been using "ChemSharp" lately.

Works GREAT.

 

Just put the tungsten in your drill motor and spin it while you grind it. It work perfect for me.

I got one of these a couple weeks ago.

Works awesome, but a bit pricey.

That's exactly what I do, comes out just as good as that picture of the ebay one.

 

I showed my teacher this and he goes and pulls one almost like it out it works ok still just use my hands and good ol bench grinder.

 

My dewalt and grinder or belt sander have always worked for me.

 

Same here. I got the harbor-freight 1" wide belt sander, set it on a bracket, and made a jig to get the right angles. Even though I'm not doing production work, it makes it very quick. No belt changes, no worry about contamination from what I used previously on that belt. The belts are cheap, but I haven't had to change one yet.

I do find a lighter drill helps, especially those with a repeatable low RPM.

 

i have a drill bit sharpener thing like advertised on tv that i use just for tungsten, put it in a drill and spin it away.

 

We have one of these at work. Way overkill for what we do, but it is super nice and does a killer job!

 

I love this machine. After using it, I get pissed off cause I have to go back to hand spinning and a grinder.

 

i have used a pin vise for a mini drill along with a bench grinder before and it works pretty well. the vise gives a little more control compared to being chucked in a drill. they are ~$5 @ harbor freight.

 

thats a waist of money to me. ive used a real nice dedicated grinder setup with a holder diamond wheel protractor vacuum and all the bs . but ive used a hand grinder no problem dont let the tools make the man do work
