Thanks for the input and articles. I'm sort of self-directed on tig training (meaning I have a machine and am teaching myself with input wherever I can get it). The tips on sharpening are interesting because it turns out that the method you use after trying the other products is the same one I use because I'm cheap and don't know any better. What do you think of the chemical sharpener stuff?

chem sharp and other chemical tungsten sharpeners do work just fine, but i really hate the fumes.

regards, and thanks for posting
