Generally, you will want to grind the taper on the tungsten to a distance of no more than 2.5 times the electrode diameter (for example, for a 1/8-in. electrode, grind a surface 1/4 to 5/16 in. long). Grinding the tungsten to a taper eases the transition of arc starting and creates a more focused arc for better welding performance.Web

Cutting Process. When cutting tungsten carbide rods, it's important to remember that you're not actually "cutting" the material; instead, you're grinding it away bit by bit. To do this, start by securely clamping the rod into place on a workbench or table. Make sure it's tightly clamped, so it doesn't move as you grind away.Web
