Creating an electrode shorter than 25 mm

General

When creating an electrode shorter than 25 mm, the electrode is first ground as described
in the "Grinding an electrode" section.
The ready-ground electrode is then cut to the required length.

NOTE! To create an extremely short electrode, the base material must be at
least 30 mm longer than the desired final length.
For example: required final length 10 mm = original length min. 40 mm)

Insert the electrode (1) into the clam-

ping sleeve of the electrode holder
from the front
– Approx. 25 mm of the electrode
must still protrude at the front
Twist the front part (2) and back part
2
(3) of the electrode holder as shown
and lightly clamp the electrode
The electrode should then not be able

to slip by itself, but it must still be pos-
sible to move it by hand

de bushing (4) of the length stop as far
as the stop
