The diamond wheel was acquired on eBay.
Would be interesting to know how old this peerless motor is. It says frame CE12C.
So where do you collect the carcinogenic Thoria dust?
Didn't you see the transparent disk guard with the connector to the vacuum cleaner? ;-))

I figure that if I use it once or twice a week, there is not that much danger to me. Still, I will try to fashion some sort of a vacuum cleaner hose holder of some sort, as well as electrode support.

You don't have to use tungstens with thoria. In fact they are not the best ones to use.

I have some lanthanated ones. Dangers of thoria, though, should not be overstated for a weekend warrior like me. I am not production welding and I am not sharpening tnugstens every 5 minutes. I do it once a week or so.
Still, I think, I will make some changes to this and will add a shop vac hose holder of some sort and an adjustable holder.

Do you grind tungstens with that thing? What are the wheels made of ??
