Pilot Electrode Sharpener

With the Pilot you'll sharpen an Orion tungsten electrode quickly and perfectly. Simply power on the base rotary tool and insert the electrode in the guiding hole. The Pilot properly aligns the electrode with the grinding wheel. No more guessing about proper angles!

The Pilot's rotary body is slim and contoured to comfortably fit your palm. Powered by a lithium ion battery, the Pilot provides hours and hours of use. Simply use the included power cord to charge the battery when needed. Also select from three different speeds with LED indicator.

Why You Need a Sharp Electrode

The sharper the electrode the better. A sharp electrode allows you to deliver weld energy with precision and accuracy. A blunt electrode will disperse weld energy in a wider area resulting in unsatisfactory results.

*Note about Tariffs (Updated May 1, 2025)

Sunstone is a home-grown, made-in-USA company. Most of our welders are engineered and built by skilled American workers who take pride crafting high-precision, highly robust welders. During manufacturing, Sunstone uses parts and materials sourced from U.S. companies whenever possible. In some instances, parts and materials may be sourced from outside the U.S. due to availability and cost. Unavoidably, recent tariffs have increased the cost of parts and materials.
To offset the increased cost in manufacturing, beginning May 1, 2025 Sunstone is adding a modest surcharge to affected products. The surcharge for this product is 12.88 and has already been added in to the purchase price. We will continue to monitor tariff costs and will happily adjust these down or eliminate them all together if possible.
