Cordless Sharpie DXCL™ Tungsten Grinder
Get perfect tungsten every time—fast, consistent, and ready for clean arc starts.
The Sharpie DXCL™ tungsten electrode grinder delivers precise, repeatable tungsten prep for better arc starts, improved puddle control, and higher-quality welds. With an adjustable grind angle from 15° -to- 45°, it is built for virtually any TIG welding application in the shop or in the field.
The double-sided diamond wheel easily grinds tungsten electrode sizes, .040" (1.0mm) (collet sold separately), 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm), and 1/8" (3.2mm).
We suggest using our Heavy-Duty wheel for continuous grinding of 1/8" (3.2mm) tungsten.

Key Features
1. Precise Diamond Ground Taper:
Sharpie grinders deliver a quick and consistent adjustable grind angle from 15° -to- 45° for snappy arc starts, better puddle control, and improved weld quality. The double-sided diamond wheel easily grinds tungsten electrode sizes .040" (collet sold separately), 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" (1.0mm, 1.6mm, 2.4mm, and 3.2mm).
2. Tip Flat Option:
Tungsten electrodes ground to a sharp point are proven to burn off and cause inclusions in your weld. By removing the point and adding a tip flat, you get better arc starts, longer electrode tip life, and reduced weld contamination.
3. Cut-Off/Score Option:
The built-in cut-off or scoring option allows you to cut and remove only contaminated portions of the electrode. No more bending or breaking electrodes, which can cause splintering of the tungsten and reduce electrode performance.
Safe & Easy To Use:
Set your machine up for the job at hand and grind electrodes in the shop or in the field. The enclosed grinding wheel helps eliminate safety issues common with side or wheel grinders that can grab the electrode and shoot it back at the operator.
Save Time & Money:
Diamond ground electrodes reduce tungsten consumption and waste. Stop wearing out belts on your sander and grinding deep grooves in your bench grinder wheels. Your shop will be cleaner, safer, and more productive. The reversible long-life diamond wheel means low replacement part costs.
Weld Like A Pro Tip™:
Frequently re-grinding worn electrode tips improves weld quality and lowers tungsten usage. Waiting until the tip is completely eroded or contaminated requires grinding off more tungsten material, resulting in higher tungsten usage and costing you time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy a grinding wheel separately?
No. The Sharpie DXCL™ includes a double-sided diamond grinding wheel, battery, charger, and standard collets for 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" tungsten.
What tungsten sizes can this grinder handle?
It handles .040" (with optional collet), 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" tungsten electrodes.
Why use a dedicated tungsten grinder instead of hand grinding?
A dedicated grinder helps produce more consistent tungsten prep, better arc starts, improved puddle control, and lower risk of weld contamination.
Can I use this in the field?
Yes. The cordless Milwaukee M12 platform makes the Sharpie DXCL™ a great option for both shop and field use.

The Sharpie head with diamond wheel will easily & quickly sharpen 4 sizes of tungsten electrodes with adjustable angle (pitch). I love how easy it is to sharpen electrodes with consistency. Milwaukee makes great tools, and this is no exception.

This cordless tungsten grinder is the best thing…
This cordless tungsten grinder is the best thing I have done in years !!!!! No more keeping a designated clean wheel or pad on the bench grinder. Finally free to do what I want and get super quality finely sharpened tungsten every single time. This cordless version is great for me, because like a lot, I work two or three different shops, and can carry it anywhere. The case is great and has all the accessories in there and also some room for a few more PPE products. The quality is great and the finish on the tungsten versus anything else is not even a contest, super happy with this product and recommend it to anyone . Find me on Instagram @moser_fab if you want to check it out, Thanks
