Pilot Electrode Sharpener for Permanent Jewelry

Sharpen Orion tungsten electrodes quickly and precisely with the Pilot. Simply power on the rotary tool and insert the electrode into the guide hole. The Pilot positions the electrode at the proper angle against the grinding wheel, removing the guesswork from achieving a consistent point.

The Pilot’s slim, contoured body fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Its lithium-ion battery and 3.7-volt motor provide hours of use between charges. When the battery runs low, simply recharge it with the included power cord. You can also choose from three no-load speeds ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 rpm, with an LED indicator displaying your selection.

Why a Sharp Electrode Matters

A properly sharpened electrode is especially important when closing fine chain. Its precise point directs weld energy exactly where it is needed for greater accuracy. A blunt electrode disperses that energy across a wider area, which can lead to unsatisfactory welding results.
