    Thanks undercut I'll follow the link ... I have been using my standard grinding wheel but I want to set up a wheel only for tungsten so I don't contaminate my tips also the direction the wheel is supposed to turn as you dress the tip concerns me too ur supoosed to point the tip in the direction of rotation and if the wheel is coarse it can grab the point and break off or even cause an injury.

    I use the same mini bench grinder to sharpen my tungsten as well. Then I use the scotch-brite wheel on the other end to polish it. Works well for me and was a very cheap setup.
