Hi
I have had a wilton 8" bench grinder for some time now.
It always vibrated badly.
I tried making new inner washers out of some cast iron I had.
Making them a tight fit on the 5/8" shafts helped some, but not enough.
I found the sleeve adapters were a little loose. This allowed the wheels to move around on the grinder shafts.
The vibration persisted, not as bad as previously.
I finally bought the One Way system. This is worth the money, follow directions and after dressing the wheels may need a re balance.
The grinder now turns like it had no wheels installed.
The next issue comes up.
Some of my wheels have 5/8" mounting holes.
I am considering a diamond core drill to open the mounting holes up to one inch so the one way system will work.
Does any one have any suggestion for making holes in grinder wheels?
Thanks
