Tungsten grinder milwaukee dremel

admin

So I got bored today and tired of putting a dremel in a vise to grind tungsten.  Plus I have not tig welded aluminum.  Just got my invertig 221 a few weeks ago.  With steel I am starting to really work the puddle and half way competent where I am not ashamed of my welds.  The other thing I can't stand is dust.  I am a little limited in space for welding and other toys around hate dust.  Last time prepped fresh tungsten my Ducati had a film if dust.So this accomplished a few things, no more vise, no more dust, and got to play with aluminum scraps I had laying around, more for practice trying to understand tig welding al different joints.  By no means a example of fine work, but more a functional conceptual idea for practice.  Best part was I learned a lot trying to control the puddle doing downhill, uphill, flat, etc.With the milwaukee m12 rotary tool, I saw that there is a cap you can take off and just screw right into the enclosure.  By the way it's a 3/4 10.  And I happened to have a tap.  Drilled a hole with a uni-bit for a hose to my cordless milwaukee vac.Call it the poor mans tungsten grinder whipped out in 15 minutesLast edited by padronanniversary; 07-26-2014 at 02:56 PM.Miller 350PMiller 30AHobart trekHTP Invertig 221
Reply:Oh by the way with these cheap diamond wheels the tungsten looks finely polished.  Just did about 40 two inch pieces in no time. I am not debating using a grinder and what not, but I hate swapping wheels and do not have a dedicated bench grinder at the momentMiller 350PMiller 30AHobart trekHTP Invertig 221
