Models DGP-M2 and DGP-M2-V2

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

DGP-M2 Tungsten Welding Electrode Grinder is designed specifically for the longitudinal grinding of the conical or

tapered points on tungsten welding electrodes from .040'' (1.0mm) to 3/16'' (4.8mm) in diameter. This model also cuts

these electrodes to precise lengths using a precision scale and an adjustable indexer block. The grinder is equipped with

a completely enclosed ball bearing motor and a rotor and shaft assembly that is dynamically balanced for vibration-free

rotation. The motor housing is compact and the unit has ample side clearance on the grinding and cutting wheels.

Wheel guards are secured to the shaft by threaded nuts and safety eyeshields are also included.

DGP-M2 and DGP-M2-V2 Tungsten Electrode Grinders offer precise grinding for your precision welding needs. The

DGP-M2 consists of a horizontal axis grinder that can be pedestal mounted, a diamond grinding wheel and assembly on

the right side, and a diamond cutting wheel for cutting an electrode to a precision length on the left side. The

DGP-M2-V2 adds a foam-insulated cabinet, vacuum system for dust collection, and a flexible spotlight in addition to

the DGP-M2 features. The DGP-M2 can be upgraded later to a DGP-M2-V2.

The diamond grinding wheel on both grinders is on the right side of the machine and the surface rotates toward the

electrode which provides consistent and repeatable points from each grind. The grinding surface faces right and the

right wheel enclosure housing supports the electrode grinding assembly in addition to a Point Flat Dresser Block. The

location of the area of contact between the diamond grinding wheel and the tungsten electrode is visible to the operator

at all times, which allows for excellent control of the grinding operation. After repeated use, a groove will eventually be

worn into the wheel at the contact point. The contact point should then be adjusted downward slightly to the next

unused spot on the diamond grinding wheel. The cutting assembly on the left side also provides excellent visibility and

is easy to operate. Wheel rotation, viewed from the left end of the grinder, is clockwise.

VACUUM SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The DGP-M2-V2 comes with a tool cabinet and integrated vacuum system for the collection of tungsten dust.

This feature has become very popular due to notifications in the past few years about the danger of inhaling dust

from the commonly used 2% Thoriated tungsten, which is a known radioactive cancer-causing element. Please

contact your local OSHA office if you would like more information about this issue. In addition, we offer free

samples of non-radioactive alternative tungsten, which performs better in most applications. Users of the DGP-M2

can later upgrade their systems to add the vacuum system if chosen later.

It is impossible to contain all of the lightweight dust particles that deflect quickly off the wheels from grinding.

The vacuum system offers a way of collecting the majority of the dust that is produced while grinding tungsten

electrodes. Each side of the grinder has vacuum holes and hoses to collect dust. To maximize the suction power,

use the valves at the back of the grinder motor to direct the suction to the side you are using. If you are using

both sides at the same time, leave both sides open. However, if you are only using one side, close the valve on

the opposite side and you will increase the suction power to the side you are using. Replacement vacuum filters are in

stock at the factory for immediate shipment.
