Static wheel balancing can be difficult and very 

time consuming without practice. For accurate 

grinding results, wheel balancing is mandatory. 

For this balancing procedure, you will need a 

wheel balancing fixture. The wheel balancing 

fixture shown in Figure 33 is one example of the 

many varieties available on the market. 

Before proceeding, the grinding wheel must be 

ring tested (refer to Page ) and dressed (refer to 

Page ).

If flood coolant was used with the grinding 

wheel, run the machine with the grinding wheel 

installed for 5-minutes to sling off any residual 

coolant that may have settled to the low side of 

the wheel. If the paper washers are missing, wet, 

or damaged, replace them before proceeding. If 

during a period of machine operation, you find 

that a finish is becoming poor, redress the wheel. 

If that does not correct the problem rebalance 

your grinding wheel.

1.  DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.  Set up the wheel balancer as outlined in its 

product user manual.

3.  Remove the grinding wheel and hub as 

a unit from the spindle as outlined in 

Hub on Page 22.

1.  Insert the diamond tipped dressing tool into 

its base (Figure 32), and use a 4mm hex 

wrench to tighten the locking set screw.

2.  Lower the headstock so the wheel is 

approximately 5mm lower than the tip of the 

dressing tool.

3.  Position the tip of the dressing tool at the 

trailing side of the wheel, as shown in 

Figure 31, and move the table inward until 

the diamond tip of the dressing tool slightly 

touches the edge of the grinding wheel. 

Verify by manually rotating the wheel and 

listening for contact.

4.  Turn on the magnetic chuck, and move the 

cross slide so the tip is free of the grinding 

wheel.

5.  Start the grinder, and use the cross slide 

handwheel to progressively move the table, 

so the diamond sweeps across the wheel at a 

depth between 0.01 – 0.03mm.
