Bench Grinder. Removing vibrations, balancing the abrasive disc, faceplate and more.

Friends, if you don't have Somafix, use epoxy glue, it's even stronger. Epoxy gets into the pores of the abrasive disc and it's a stranglehold. They write to me here in the comments that it will fly off and gouge out the eye. They did not see and did not try to tear off Somafix, especially from a rough surface. Yes, I needed to show epoxy bonding, but I was sorry for the time, I'm sorry. I do not recommend any other glue except for CA Somafix and epoxy, it can really be dangerous.

A balance washer can improve wheel imbalance. Make the washer about 3mm thick, and 70-80mm in diameter. Drill the shaft hole 1-2mm off center. Mark the wheel and washer. Try the washer rotated in various directions until the imbalance is gone.

Well done. All grinders should come from the factory like that.

This must be the best video on bench grinders on YT. Awesome work!

Thank you very much for this video. I will have to try this out on my bench grinder, which has really bad vibration, like yours at the beginning! I was not aware of the reasons for the vibrations and how it can be fixed. I thought it was just a „not so good quality machine“ and I had to live with it. You have shown that this is not the case and how it can be improved a lot. 👍

Always a great idea to have any spinning power tool balanced. I have a buffing grinder as well and with any buffing disk it walks all over the floor with the pedestal stand. I have yet to go through it and balance everything... Thumbs Up!

I just learned about two years of metalwork class in one video. I am reasonably smart, done a bit of metalwork, and know a few things. Its been a long while since I sat down and watched a video that school me. Excellent work.

Thanks for a good video. Didn't know these grinders to have such problems and can be further adjusted.

Real good information. We all learn from this one and it's well, worth knowing and applying.

Excellent video . Well done indicating the use of card washers on the flanges .

Brilliant technic & perfectly executed, thanks for sharing.

Doskonale wykonana robota, której się nikomu innemu nie będzie chciało wykonać.

Has to be the best video I have seen. Great advice and result, thanks for sharing. :-)

I've been looking for this for a long time, thank you!

Good video. Covers things most home users don't know.

Great job.. really learned a lot here

I love it when a plan comes together!💪😜

Bravó,ezt nagyon jól csináltad!👍🕊

Good wrench is the half of the work! Thank You very much for share this great experience. There is very helpfull to understand the troubles.👍❤

It's a super video. Thanks for your effort. I also do scissors sharpening, I have 4 of the same machine. We have done similar works, but there are also some things I learned from you. Thank you so much.
