The Pilot Electrode Sharpener helps you maintain consistent tip geometry, protect electrode life, and sharpen efficiently in shop or on-site environments. Ideal for TIG welding with Orion tungsten electrodes in automotive, fabrication, and maintenance applications, especially when you require repeatable results across multiple electrodes. Use with care to avoid overheating; let the wheel do the work with light passes and check the tip geometry after sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sunstone Welders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45019237351503,"sku":"315061","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/2406\/7407\/files\/Web_20Ready_20Pilot_20Full_20View_a9419c8c-e8dc-4956-8ec9-c6394bc352da.png?v=1776998507","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechsupply.com\/products\/pilot-electrode-sharpener-1","provider":"Hobby Tech Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
