Why correct sanding is so important
Before we look at the details of the Stilo TIG, it's worth taking a look at the theory
the theory. If tungsten electrodes are ground unevenly or radially (transversely
to the longitudinal axis), an unstable arc is created.
This "wanders" around the tip, leading to binding errors and unclean seams
Seams.
A professional longitudinal cut, in which the grooves run parallel to the electrode
MMA, on the other hand, focusses the arc precisely. In addition
the tip must be absolutely centred. Manual grinding "from the
By hand" harbours risks, however: The rotation often becomes uneven, the fingers
Fingers come dangerously close to the rotating grinding discs and the result is
And the result is rarely reproducible. The Stilo TIG sanding aid solves precisely
precisely these problems with an ingenious mechanical principle.
Litty Stilo Tig: Functionality and design
The Stilo Tig is a hand grinding holder that has been specially developed
to hold tungsten MMAs securely and rotate them evenly during the grinding process
tungsten electrodes during the grinding process. The housing is made of
anodised aluminium, while the mechanically stressed parts are
mechanically stressed parts are made of hardened steel. This guarantees
a long service life even in the harsh everyday workshop environment.
The special feature of this grinding aid is the auto-rotation effect.
The pressure exerted by the MMA on the grinding disc causes it to start
the MMA starts to rotate automatically in the holder. This ensures
this ensures an absolutely even, centred taper without the user having to
tedious readjustment with their fingers.
The right solution for every diameter
The Stilo Tig can be used flexibly and covers the most common diameters in the
Diameters in the TIG sector. The tool is available in two
Variants, which are often colour-coded (e.g. blue for finer diameters, red for
thicker diameters):
-
For fine work: Here you can work on MMA with ø 1.6 mm and 2.4
mm can be used here. The 1.6 mm needles in particular are sensitive and
difficult to hold by hand - with the Stilo TIG this is child's play
Child's play.
-
For high currents: The second version is designed for 3.2 mm and 4.0 mm
designed. Especially with a thick 4.0 mm MMA, a precise tip angle is

The diameters are clearly defined so that the MMA is guided

Step-by-step instructions: How to use the Stilo Tig
Handling is extremely simple and safe. Follow these
Steps for a perfect result:
-
Preparation: Select the appropriate opening for your tungsten
MMA (e.g. 2.4 or 1.6).
-
Insert: Insert the MMA into the Stilo TIG. Leave
the tip protrude about 15 to 20 mm.
-
Fix in place: The MMA is guided precisely and yet remains
smoothly enough to be set in rotation by the friction on the grinding disc
Rotation by the friction on the grinding disc.
-
Grinding: Approach the grinding disc. Press the
MMA gently against the abrasive disc. The friction causes
the rotation begins.
-
Result: After a few seconds, you will have a perfectly centred
Tip with longitudinal grinding.
You no longer need to correct your settings on the welding machine
to compensate for unclean tips - the arc stands like a charm
like a one.
Safety and ergonomics in the workplace
A major advantage of the Stilo TIG is occupational safety.
Conventional grinding often brings the fingertips within a few millimetres of the
Millimetres from the rapidly rotating grinding disc. Injuries
are not uncommon here. With a length of approx. 205 mm, the
Stilo keeps your hands at a safe distance from the danger zone.
What's more, thanks to its slim design and practical clip, the Stilo TIG
practical clip fits like a pen in any breast pocket. It
always at hand, regardless of whether you are welding steel in the workshop or
welding steel in the workshop or processing aluminium on site.
Economy and quality
Why invest in expensive sanders when there is an easier way?
Of course, stationary wet grinders are justified, but they are expensive and
are expensive and not mobile. The Stilo TIG offers a cost-effective alternative
Alternative that delivers high-quality results.
-
Extended service life: As less material is removed unnecessarily during grinding
removed during grinding, every tungsten MMA lasts longer.
-
Fewer rejects: Perfectly ground needles break less often and fire better
ignite better.
-
Versatility: Whether pure tungsten, lanthanum or ceriated MMAs
- the holder is universally suitable for all alloys and also for
high-alloy steels in the welding process.
