Welding Tips and Tricks

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.

Hey Jim, here is a link to one in our "product review" forum.

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.

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.
