New Tungsten Sharpeners, Innovative, Priced Well

Gee,

I've noticed how well the Everlast forum included pics in the threads lately. And I like how it shows them in less-than full size, until you click on them too, and people will often reply to a post, which otherwise will often duplicate a big, fat photo over again, needlessly and redundantly.

The internet "link" tool for a YouTube video player window still doesn't seem to work, but still a hyper link to the YouTube page itself. No biggie.

Glad you decided on the Gen 2, have you tried it as of yet ? There is nothing like consistency to help eliminate the guess work of trouble shooting your welds. So does the head fit just Dremel brand, or all or most dremel style tool ?

Nah,

I just ordered it today.

Yeah, it apparently threads onto any rotary tool with 3/4"-12 threads, like the Dremel tool.

Yeah,

When this thing arrives, I may use a Dremel cutting wheel to cut a little channel to lay the tungsten into, like the Eastwood ones have, as a sort of catch-all slot to remove any molten blobs that suck up on a tungsten tip, rather than using the cut-off slot.



Otherwise, you have to back out and interchange one or more of those allen screws, to have your preferred tungsten size (I'm almost exclusively using 3/32") placed in whatever particular degree angle you like. I'll probably mover that 3/32" on to the 30 degree hole. My old, turret-head had a fixed angle of about 20 degrees for all three tungsten sizes.

Gee,

Instead of a slot, maybe I'll just drill an oversized (1/4") 5th hole at a real flat angle, to initially knock off any blobs that get sucked up onto a tungsten.

Or, just remove one of those allen head screw/collets that have a flat angle, as I'll never need all of those angles or tungsten sizes.

Well,

This thing arrived today. It works well. Screwed right on to a Dremel. The 3/32" slot is at 20 degrees, and maybe I'll just leave things as they are for a bit. The fresh new diamond disc cut fast and without much pressure, which showed how much the old unit called for a new disc.

The diamond wheels/discs are a little bigger than the one on my old unit, so the old one will not get a new wheel.

Not sure why their upside down when copied to my album.
