How to balance a bench grinder in 4 steps 

That was one hell of an impressive fix 👍

I truly like your threaded exterior washer, it is easy to do fine tuninh that way.

Wish flanges like that were available for purchase. Good work!

First problem is that PAL grinder, but I do like your method of adding weights to the flange. I was able to balance my Baldor by dialing in each wheel, a quarter turn at a time with no additional weights.

It all makes perfect sense to me. Nice trick.

I see a lot of negative comments here, I think they come from lazy people without imagination who only look for what's easy. I bought a Dewalt DW758 8” bench grinder (USD$275 in my country) and it was a big disappointment for me to put it to work, it vibrated terribly. Worried, I began to investigate the reasons and solutions. I did it!! with just an angle grinder, a drill and a homemade belt grinder. I can't guarantee that the pieces I made were perfect with those tools but they do work perfectly, now I have zero vibrations and I am very satisfied! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it was very useful to me. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨

Add another item to my list of things I've never done, should probably do but might not ever get around to doing... lol

Interesting. But to do it this way and so perfectly you need a very, very well equipped workshop. Is there a simpler way?

I typically use my 2x48" belt sander to do grinding. I did use a bench grinder before that. Seems it only gets used now to grind the tungsten electrode points. But this problem is why I never like using the bench grinder. I like your fix. Making those hubs is a time consumer, but worth the time. I watched one video where the guy ended up epoxying lead to the side of the wheel. He chased down every issue with the OEM manufacture having washers that made the wheels wobble. Project Farm channel did a video on cheap to expensive bench grinders. The one thing I noticed with every one of them, the wheels ran a swash plate wobble. You would think expensive brands would have very well made wheels, and hubs to make them run true. I didn't see that. I made a similar weight hub for my surface grinder. I saw an article on the internet about using an accelerometer and measuring the signal, but the author was using an antique audio signal analyzer, and they want too much for that tool on eBay. So I used my Oscope, but since the motor runs with 60Hz, and that noise signal is everywhere in the shop, the ~3600RPM vibration signal was washed out with noise that created all sorts of beat frequency harmonics in the scope signal. I even tried the FFT function to see if I could measure it. Anyway you would take the rms reading of the accelerometer signal, and run it through a spread sheet calculator putting the test weights in 2 different locations on the balance hub, and it would spit out a correct weight to put in one location to balance the wheel.

I’d wear a mask when facing the grinding wheel…lots of bad dust..

Very nice work

"What you are going to need to do first is go to the foundry" 😂😂 I don't have a surface grinder, metal working lathe. I just a man in a shed.

How to fix 100$ tool with 5k$ tool :D

Good explanation, but the average home user doesn't have the machine tools to make or dress the parts shown.

Wish there was a video where it didn’t require having access and functional knowledge of a machine shop.

Otherwise buy 10k$ machines to fix 200$ junk. I rather not use a bench grinder.

Who has a surface grinder in their garage. Or a lathe.

ok, how is it done without ninety thousand dollars worth of equipment. useless video.
