ULTIMA-TIG WET TUNGSTEN GRINDER

Ultima-TIG® Tungsten Electrode Grinder

The Ultima-TIG® Tungsten Grinder is a premium wet grinding system designed for professional TIG welders who demand precision, repeatability, and safety. Engineered to produce perfectly centred tungsten electrodes with accurate tip angles, the Ultima-TIG® improves arc stability, weld quality, and electrode lifespan while reducing grinding time and tungsten waste. 

Unlike conventional grinding methods, the Ultima-TIG® uses a wet grinding process with a high-speed diamond grinding disc and integrated cooling liquid to prevent overheating, contamination, and tungsten damage. The result is a smooth, polished electrode surface that delivers consistent welding performance across manual, orbital, robotic, plasma, and automated welding applications. 

Its sealed grinding chamber and disposable dust collection system help protect operators from hazardous tungsten dust while ensuring environmentally responsible disposal.

Key Benefits

Improve Weld Quality

Accurate grinding in the longitudinal direction of the tungsten electrode creates a consistent electrode geometry, resulting in improved arc control, cleaner welds, and fewer re-grinds.

Reduce Tungsten Waste

The specialised electrode holder and centring system allow grinding on electrodes as short as 8 mm with optional clamps, helping maximise tungsten usage and lower consumable costs.

Safer Working Environment

The enclosed grinding chamber automatically captures toxic tungsten dust in a disposable collection container, reducing airborne contamination and operator exposure.

Faster Grinding Performance

A powerful motor and high grinding speed produce a smooth electrode finish quickly, helping fabricators and welders minimise downtime. 

Prevent Electrode Damage

The wet grinding system cools the tungsten during sharpening, preventing overheating, cracking, and damage to the electrode structure.
