Also: we don't *need* a forge for an anvil to be an incredibly useful, meaningful addition to our metalworking capabilities. It has enormous use in many other metalworking capacities.

Tungsten Grinder for TIG Electrodes

When you're TIG welding it's usually important to have a sharp and clean tip on your tungsten electrode. To keep from getting contaminated welds from grinding on a grinding stone used for other things, it's best to use a specific grinding wheel for welding tungstens. It's also helpful to have a jig for getting the right angle.
