To help welding operators gain superior TIG welding performance, Weldcraft (Appleton, WI) offers a full line of high quality tungsten electrodes and tungsten grinding products, including its versatile Triad? tungsten grinder.
Weldcraft offers pure, 2 percent ceriated, 2 percent thoriated, 1.5 percent lanthanum and rare earth tungsten electrodes, welding operators have choices for most any TIG welding application. Each tungsten electrode offers excellent arc starting and arc stability, and is available in 7-in industry-standard lengths in diameters of 0.40 in, 1/16 in, 3/32 in, 1/8 in and 5/32 in. Weldcraft?s tungsten electrodes meet exacting AWS (American Welding Society) standards and feature important safety information on each package. These ten-count packages are also color-coded according to type and feature three languages (English, Spanish and French).
As a complement to the excellent performance of its tungsten electrodes, Weldcraft offers its highly versatile Triad tungsten grinder and accessories. The Triad grinder features an industrial-grade motor that provides consistent tungsten cutting and facing capabilities (up to 5/32 in) for both orbital and handheld TIG welding applications. The Triad grinder features six-precision drilled holes to accommodate tungsten diameters from 0.040 in to 5/32 in. It also offers four different grinding angles (15 deg, 18 deg, 22.5 deg and 30 deg) to ensure precise, reliable arc starting and good weld penetration.
The Triad grinder includes a dual-sided, diamond-coated grinding wheel designed to provide high-quality, reliable, long-term performance. The grinder includes an electrode holder to ease tungsten rotation and reduce the potential for flat spots, along with a machine holder that allows it to be bench mounted for shop use.
Weldcraft also offers optional double-decker kit for the Triad grinder. The double-decker kit eliminates the need and cost for additional equipment by allowing a second, rough-finish grinding wheel to be quickly and easily attached for scrubbing and/or preparing larger diameter tungsten. Welding operators can then use the existing standard finish wheel to smooth the tungsten, which helps improve arc-starting capabilities and ensures good weld penetration.
Other optional tungsten grinder accessories include a cutting holder, which safely cuts 0.040 in, 1/16 in and 3/32 in diameter tungsten to one of four fixed cutting lengths, and a protective dust cover that easily attaches to the Triad grinding head.
