Bench grinders crap?

Aug 31, 2015 23 Replies

I've seen some grinding wheels with a center hole plugged with a grey material (?sulfur) which is then precisely bored to the shaft dimension plus a small tolerance... if you tighten the flanges on such a wheel, if it is bored slightly askew, you'll bend the shaft and everything goes wobbly.

Epoxy. If from a good supplier, the hole will be perpendicular to the faces.

If from a BAD supplier, if they've gone to the trouble of plugging and re- drilling the center hole, it's going to be as true as it needs to be.
