110V vs. 230V – Choose the Correct Model
| Model | Charger | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| A-PTGK-SDCL | 110V / 120V | North American applications |
| A-PTGK-2-SDCL | 220–240V | International applications requiring EU / AS / CH 220–240V charging |
Important: This listing is for the A-PTGK-2-SDCL 230V International Model. Verify that the included charger is appropriate for your location before ordering.
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 regularly need different grind angles for different TIG 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
Is this the North American or International Sharpie SDCL™?

Where can I find the North American version?
The 110V / 120V North American model is the A-PTGK-SDCL.
What is the grind angle?
The SDCL™ uses a fixed 20° grind angle designed as a general-purpose TIG tungsten geometry.
Can I adjust the grind angle?
No. The SDCL™ is specifically designed around a fixed 20° angle. Choose a Sharpie DXCL™ if you need adjustable grind angles.
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.
Does it include a diamond grinding wheel?
Yes. A double-sided diamond grinding wheel is included.
Can it create tip flats and cut contaminated tungsten?
Yes. The Sharpie SDCL™ provides both tip-flat and cut-off / scoring capabilities.
What's the difference between the standard SDCL™ and the Pro Kit?
Both include the grinder, standard collets, battery, and 230V charger. The Pro Kit adds the .040" collet, replacement grinding wheel, Arc-Saber tungsten storage container, and Pro Series TIG Calculator.
