Hello again guys. I just about have all the things accumulated to say I have what I want to be setup to start aluminum tig practice with my Division 180. I swapped the #9 torch for a # 20 and have built a cooler using a Procon pump and a 4 gallon tank I welded up out of aluminum. 2 gallons of water and 2 gallons of RV antifreeze. No leaks!! I have been scratch starting a simple system for about 15 years using city waterfor cooling but steel only and finally I just HAD to be able to do aluminum. I now have a Smith Proportional mixer set up for when I get to start on heavier stuff. My shop is not heated so I have to shut the city water off in the winter--no good.Its going fairly well so far but now I just HAVE to have a nice electric tungsten grinder. I don't really HAVE to have one its more I WANT one (-:

Looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced one that is not junk. It does not have to be the Cadiilac of grinders but I don't mind paying for quality.

Merry Christmas to all.

I did a review on the Tech South unit I have.. I still love it and wonder why it took me so long to pull the trigger, prices very reasonable.
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

Just came across this site offering diamond disk replacement in case anyone wants to try making one.

I ended up purchasing a HTP Adjustable grinder and so far I am pleased with it.
