Are all small bench grinder wheels crap nowadays? Bought two new wheels for my old 6" B&D bench grinder from the local hardware store. When mounted, b oth wheels are nearly 1/16" out of true both side to side and OD. Figured m aybe the flanges were bad so I turned some new one from round stock to matc h the ID of the wheels. Mounted them and they were still horribly out. My f langes are jam on, it's the center holes in the wheels that are so bad. Bou ght a new grinder from HF, yea, I know, cheap China crap, and it is just as bad right out of the box.I just want a general purpose grinder/wire wheel set up that will run decently true without shaking the whole bench, not a t ool grinder. Problems seem to be the wheels, not the grinders themselves.Su ggestions?
