I often will stop a project when I get stuck and then my brain goes round and round thinking about a solution. If you aren't in a hurry, I think waiting and contemplating is often a great solution. Nice demo.
Lee, thanks for the nice shoutout! Really happy to see the excellent result.
Brilliant solution. I just purchased an old Delta Milwaukee toolmaker/surface grinder from the 40's, it came with one hub and back in those days i guess they didn't have the fancy hubs with weights that all the cool kids are using these days, so i've found myself needing to find a solution. Drilling the wheels seemed like a less than ideal fix, but this hits the nail straight on the head! I will definitely be copying this idea, thanks for sharing! (side note, i had NO idea how many variables went into chasing that mirror finish on a surface grinder. what a journey this is turning out to be. a LOT to learn!)
Lee, super idea... I have been balancing by drilling. This is much more elegant solution. Guess I’ll add another project to the “ to do “ list. Thanks, Joe
I have watched several videos on this subject and you by far did the best. I now understand how to balance properly... thank you
Big difference. Excellent explanation. Thanks for showing how to make the wheel balancing ring.
Perfect! I once had a unbalanced grinding wheel due to the coolant fluid on one side of the wheel. Put it in the kitchen oven at 120 dgrs Celsius (250 F) for 1 hour, put it back, dressed it up an it was balanced. Now I have an additional possibillity to balance it.
I have been drilling the grinding wheels for years and although it has worked well I was never happy with it. As a matter of fact I did a video on it and it is one for my most popular to this date. I have been considering several balancing options and you beat me to it. Thanks for sharing.
Gday Lee, the finish a surface grinder gives is absolutely beautiful, you can’t get any better than that, thanks for sharing this, I’m sure lots of people will be make balancing rings now, maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to own a surface grinder, Cheers Matty
Lee you just made my day thanks so much and thanks for taking the time to make your videos I watch all of them
Great video, Lee, and thanks for the mention. I should be getting my "new" grinder into the shop soon and will be going through the same process. Your design is simpler than mine but just as effective.
Excellent tutorial. I appreciate the persistence to get it from pretty good to darn near perfect.
Thanks for showing an alternative to drilling the grinding wheel. A practice of which I never liked. I too got frustrated with unbalanced wheels on my Jones and Shipman 540. I chose to make a balancing hub instead of paying north of $400 for a new one. I built a cup style that has 2 weights that attach with set screws. The results with a balanced wheel were remarkable. I added a coolant system and grinding has never been so enjoyable. Keep up the good work Lee.
Fantastic! What a neat and simple idea!
That looks like a good balancing system
Thanks for sharing
Well thought out project - well done.
Very nice balancing jig! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Proof is in the puddin! Thanks for puddin us straight Lee ! :) Huge difference...
Great video Lee. Very much appreciated. I learned a lot.Thanks
That was great! Made a big difference. I will have to try that. First I'll have to make a balancer.
Well now I know what's wrong with my Surface grinder thanks Lee
great content as usual Lee. Thank you
That's a neat solution Mr p. Thanks for sharing
Excellent presentation. The same principle applies to balancing motorcycle wheels. Long distance riders will understand if the wheels are not balanced the tyre wear will be uneven and can result in premature tyre replacement.
Your approach is excellent. Another method is to use a eccentric balancing disk and rotate to try have a balanced wheel.
Nice productive day in the shop Lee, also some very pertinent information and technique for me, as I have a couple of diamond wheels I want to run on a bench grinder, but haven't had much luck with my adapters. Heck of a difference in finish, and lots of great comments you got here. Stay safe my friend and as always cheers!
I enjoyed this video, actually learned something.
Neat trick with the Lead Pellets too, I have plenty
of those.
Nice job Lee, i have been wanting to make a wheel balancing fixture and those rings...i like your lead slug idea...thanks for sharing....
Great video...I have been remiss on balancing...time to change my practice and start balancing
Great information for a surface grinder beginner, thanks, I like the power feed on the X axis.
Love your videos- keep them up :)
Great demonstration. Thanks.
Lee, that is a good result! I like the pellet idea!
That is interesting way to achieve balance. On grinders I ran in large shops the hubs had movable weights that was wedged in with a n grub screw
Outstanding video great knowledge
Nice work Lee! enjoyed.
ATB, Robin
Very impressive. I know my next project. Good explanation also
GREAT VIDEO !!!
Hi Lee, good to see the improvements here. Have you looked at your spindle and bearings? If this has been operating out of balance for a while, the chatter that you see on your work pieces is also transferring to your bearings and spindle.
That was very useful thanks.
Nice balancing rings! Oh ....... and nice shirt!
Very nice.
But don't you have to balance it on both sides, like a car wheel balancing?
Great video would like to see how you made the power feed
Thanks Lee that's the most practical demo on balancing I have seen. Really like the balancing ring and will be using you method when I make some new hubs for my SG.
btw it might be a good idea to add uprights to the end of your balancing jig, so that your wheel never rolls off. It will save you a wheel, and aggravation.
i've been successful with using the masonary bit. it just depends on the stone.
Good visual of the diff between non-balanced and balanced.
I am not so sure I would feel confident with a clamped on ring, but if it replaced the outer flange washer, yea, I would.
Hello thank for the teacher you explain very good ,slow and everything I have the same problems wit my wheel naw I know how to fix my wheel thank again ,I see the power feed on right of the table do you have a video of it I will like made one foe my harig surface thank again
Yes that power crank on the end is pretty cool!
Neat idea using pellets! 👍🏼
Talk about chalk and cheese! Nice demonstration sir!
How much would it be out of balance after dressing up? Nice video!!
HI ,, I WAS SHOWN TO BALLANCE,, DRESS,,,RE- BALLANCE,, AND A LIGHT DRESS, MABY .0002"..REGARDS RICHARD..
Well....I'll Be. Thanks Mate.
Mr. Lee, did you make the arbor for balancing the wheels? Can't find it in your video index. I would like to make one as well for my Harig 612. Thanks
German torque method Gudentite! An unbalanced wheel can certainly destroy the precision of your spindle bearings. Will have to make some of those for my bench grinders as well.

What Richard Bradley said!
Have you tested the arbor? if your arbor is not balanced you will never balance your wheel. I would mark where the arbor is in reference to the wheel, then change it by 90 degrees. If you unbalance moves, your arbor is out.
i guess Im kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Angel Emmanuel i would suggest flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Gordon Shiloh Yea, been using flixzone for months myself =)
@Gordon Shiloh thank you, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Angel Emmanuel You are welcome :)
