Cordless Sharpie SDCL™ Tungsten Grinder – Fixed 20° Grind Angle

Simple, consistent tungsten grinding with a proven 20° general-purpose angle.
The Sharpie SDCL™ Cordless Tungsten Grinder is designed for welders who want fast, repeatable tungsten preparation without the need to adjust grind angles. Its fixed 20° geometry provides a versatile general-purpose taper for a wide range of TIG welding applications.

Powered by an M12 cordless motor platform, the SDCL™ gives you the freedom to prep tungsten at the bench, around the shop, or in the field while maintaining consistent electrode geometry from one grind to the next.

Why Welders Choose the Sharpie SDCL™

  • Fixed 20° Grind Angle: Simple setup with no angle adjustment required.
  • Consistent Arc Starts: Repeatable tungsten geometry helps improve arc control and weld consistency.
  • Cordless Portability: Prep tungsten wherever the job takes you.
  • Multiple Tungsten Sizes: Grind .040", 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" electrodes with the appropriate collet.
  • Tip Flat Capability: Create controlled tip flats for improved electrode life and performance.
  • Cut-Off / Score Feature: Remove contaminated tungsten without bending or breaking the electrode.

SDCL™ vs. DXCL™

Feature SDCL™ DXCL™
Grind Angle Fixed 20° Adjustable 15°–45°
Best For General-purpose TIG welding and welders who want simple, repeatable tungsten prep Applications requiring multiple tungsten angles and greater setup flexibility
Tip Flat Capability Yes Yes
Cut-Off / Score Capability Yes Yes
Cordless Yes Yes

Choose the SDCL™ if you primarily use a 20° tungsten taper and want a simple, economical grinder with no angle adjustments.

Choose the DXCL™ if you need to regularly change grind angles for different welding applications.

Three Ways to Prepare Your Tungsten

1. Precision Diamond-Ground Taper:
The fixed 20° grinding geometry creates repeatable tungsten tapers for consistent arc starts, improved puddle control, and dependable general-purpose TIG welding performance.

2. Tip Flat:
Create a controlled flat on the electrode tip to help improve tungsten life and reduce the possibility of the sharp tip entering the weld.

3. Cut-Off / Score:
Remove contaminated sections of tungsten without bending or breaking the electrode, helping preserve usable tungsten material.

High-Quality Construction

The Sharpie SDCL™ is built to demanding specifications using a cordless motor platform, industrial-grade double-sided diamond grinding wheel, and precision-machined components. The majority of machined components are made in the USA.

Designed for Safer, Cleaner Tungsten Preparation

The enclosed grinding wheel provides a more controlled tungsten grinding area compared with using an open bench grinder or belt sander. A dedicated tungsten grinder also helps keep electrodes away from grinding surfaces that may have been used on other metals.

Save Tungsten, Time & Shop Supplies

Consistent grinding helps reduce unnecessary tungsten removal while eliminating the need to wear grooves into bench grinder wheels or consume sanding belts for routine electrode preparation. The reversible double-sided diamond wheel also helps maximize grinding wheel service life.

Weld Like A Pro Tip™:
Re-grind worn or contaminated tungsten before the tip becomes severely damaged. Regular electrode maintenance requires less material removal and helps extend the useful life of each tungsten electrode.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the grind angle on the Sharpie SDCL™?
The SDCL™ uses a fixed 20° grind angle designed as a versatile general-purpose geometry for TIG welding.

Can I change the grind angle?
No. The SDCL™ is specifically designed with a fixed 20° angle. If you need adjustable grinding angles, the Sharpie DXCL™ is the better choice.

What tungsten sizes can it grind?
The grinder supports .040" (1.0mm), 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm), and 1/8" (3.2mm) tungsten with the appropriate collet.

Is the .040" collet included?
The standard grinder does not include the .040" collet. It is sold separately or included with the Pro Kit.

Can it create a tip flat?
Yes. The Sharpie SDCL™ includes a tip-flat function.

Can it cut contaminated tungsten?
Yes. The grinder includes a cut-off / scoring feature for removing contaminated sections of an electrode.

What's the difference between the standard SDCL™ and the Pro Kit?
Both include the grinder, standard collets, battery, and charger. The Pro Kit adds the .040" collet, replacement grinding wheel, Arc-Saber tungsten storage container, and Pro Series TIG Calculator.
