I came in today to do a bit of TIG welding. I went to sharpen the my TIG electrode and it will not turn on . There are only two controls and I checked them both. One is the on/off switch and the other is the speed control just above it the on/off switch.
I even plugged the sharpener into three different outlets and still it will not turn on.
what I guess matters more to me is why it’s an elegant failure rather than an graceful degradation. A tool like this I would have expected some indication of more wear or operational problems.
