• Because of the hardness of tungsten and its brittleness, the grinding stone chips off small particles of the electrode. A course grinding stone will result in more tungsten breakage and a poorer finish. If the grinder is used for metals other than tungsten, particles (of other metals) may become trapped on the tungsten as it is ground.
