grind wheel for tungsten

[FABMAN]

guys,
what type of grind wheel makeup should i order to sharpen my tungsten on a standard bench grinder that takes a 6" wheel with a 1" shaft hole ?
curious what you guys are using.
at work we use a belt sander, but everyone uses it for all kinds of different things and im afraid its contaminating our tungsten when we use it.
we have a grinder that nobody uses and want a dedicated wheel for it. the current wheel we have, not sure what its made of, its green in color, wears out really quick, not hard enough.

thanks guys..

Try a search. It's been hashed out 10,000 times.

That soft green wheel is probably for grinding carbide tooling.---Meltedmetal

I have found the best thing for me is a flap wheel on a 4 1/2'' grinder. Nothing fancy

This was posted on the Weldingweb site. I didn't search for the thread on this but I did buy this harbor freight circular saw diamond wheel. It works great. I mount it to the side of a existing grinding wheel on a bench grinder. Thing is great for $ 10.00. Use a 20 % off and save more.

No need to make a mount just take the handle off your grinder and put it in a vise upside down, dont squash it go easy and your done.

The harbor freight wheel is rated at 6600 RPM'S MAX. I would ''ONLY USE IT ON A BENCH GRINDER '' not on a angle grinder unless it is variable speed or less than 6600 RPM'S.

I use a 1/4 collet angle grinder with 100 grit 3" roloc disks for past 3 years. Works great and cheap.
