All my years as a fabricator, remodeler, repairman, mechanic and many other hats I wear, and all I've ever known or thought about was a dressing wheel! This was informative and well enough done to make me want to improve my 3 shop grinders, and don't you worry about the language police my friend; they can probably barely spell their own names. Go with God, always!

I never imagined having to balance a bench grinder. I learned something today-Thanks

Best bench grinder tuneup video on KZread! And I've watched over 2 dozen. Thanks!

I have a bench grinder to refurbish and I will be applying your tips to help me. Using self adhesive labels as balancing shins is inspiring! Thank you!

The clearest video I have seen on this subject, many thanks. I'm tuning an old Ferm FSM-200 which was my Dad's. This grinder is poorly designed as the inner pressed steel clamp washer is located by a circlip in an oversized groove that the clamp washer rocks in.

How truly enlightening, I was about to open my Stanley bench grinder package and set it up in my small DIY small workshop. Thanks .

Great video, I'm definitely in the market for a bench grinder after watching. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, great video. I bought this bench grinder and it vibrates also. I will use your instructions to make it run smoother. Thank you :)

Awesome video, my friend. Using the tape trick, you have shown an alternate method of handling the runout from the wheel flanges, which are usually stamped steel and rarely true. Much better option than trying to true the flanges. This is great news for all of us with cheaper grinders that need some help. As long as the motor shaft runout is minimal, you have it covered.

Man, that sticker balancing is very, very clever and a cheap way to true a wobbly grinding stone on any grinder. I just tried it on my big 25cm diameter grinding discs, and it works like a charm! Thank you very much! You are a genious! Davor

Good video. I bought a 8" bench grinder today and the runout on one of the wheels was around 2mm. After a bit of messing around I got it pretty good, but I'm going to use your method to fine tune it.

Fantastic video. Just got a new grinder because it was so cheap, and with it being so cheap came a lot of vibration out of the box. Glad to see how to start solving this and just ordered a truing tool as well. Thanks!

This was an extremely useful video for me. I am new to bench grinding, bought a cheap grinder 8" from Harbor Freight and this thing bucks like a wild horse at a rodeo! I researched so many 6" bench grinders - Palmgren, Dewalt, Rikon, Baldor ( way too pricey), Sears Craftsman, Ryobi, Porter Cable.... etc! Exhausting job. They are all built cheaply in China with bad QC. Even though Metabo is built in China, it is German engineered and QC is probably better. The first thing I noticed was that the wheel guard housing was heavy duty, no sharp edges and flimsy steel, and easy to remove. This is a huge plus. It looks solidly built. Your wheel truing and balancing was very informative but I also got to see how the Metabo works. The 6" grinder is affordable at under $200 USD. Not bad. Dewalt 6" is only $100 currently on Amazon, but the hand rests don't even line up to the wheel and you cannot put a 1" thick wheel on it, as the spindle is too short, sheesh! Terrible design! Someone on Amazon reviewed the Palmgren 6^ and said he liked it better than Dewalt and gave the reasons why, but Palmgren still has 2 pages of 1 star reviews - not good! I think Metabo is the one for me! Very grateful for the wheel balancing and a demo of Metabo as well. fyi - Your audio is sub par and hard to hear. To remove background noise add a 'wind sock' fluffy cover on your microphone. It will reduce background noise. Another way is to get a shirt microphone to attach on your collar for clear audio track. Speak up loudly.

Good tip with that coin!! I ordered a wheel dresser like yours a few days ago... Busy with a 150mm and one 200mm grinder so I will use that coin to see if there will be a vibration in it... Thanks for posting....

Interesting & informative, especially as I have my first bench grinder ordered to use for applying primary bevels to worn chisels & plane blades. Thanks for the video.

Very well done, clear and easy to follow.

Great video, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

Good video, but need to check wheels for out of true very low speeds - essentially static true of wheel. Check for side and face runout first. If there is a problem. Remove wheels and check motor under power for balance and turning by hand for true. Ok? Then check for runout in wheel washers - common problem - I think washers may be getting bent in shipment with wheels mounted. Checking with pencil for high speed is a good idea. You can check slow speed with marker pen. Then remove washers and spin wheel on stationary shaft to check for loose fit on shaft. New bushing or shimming with tape may be needed. Once the wheels are properly mounted, then start where the gentleman started. Note the the grinder was still a little buzzy after he was finished.

Thanks for the tips, I knew I had to grind the face of the wheels, but was puzzled with what to do about the lateral wobbling. I need better flange washers for sure, but the tape for shims might be my best solution for now.

Thank you very much this is an extremely useful video! i will be using this information to balance my new 8 inch grinder. this is the best video i found

nice info, i never thought before that using expensive bench grinder still will have to tune it first before use

Thank you very much. I have exactly the same grinding machine from metabo. But I didn't know how to eliminate the vibrations. I am very happy to have found your video and that you taught me how to fix the shake! I am very grateful to you! : ) ; )

Great Video very informative Thanks very much. To all the people claiming the "left wheel" is on the wrong way, it was not! @ 7:51 you can see the presenter turning the motor side of the wheel towards the camera. This is necessary to high lite the pencil markings he has been using to indicate running errors. I too would like it done at a slower speed as others have commented. But the owner of a new grinder who wants to sharpen a chisel etc isn't going to buy / make a static balancer ;) This is an excellent example of educating a broad audience on an issue they were unaware of :D

Thank for education didn't know how to adjust a bench grinder until now

Nice job, Thx from Austin TX!

Great video, I'm sure this guy is Filipino and unlike some I don't have any problem understanding him unlike some people who say his English is terrible, at least he knows how to speak two languages, the reason I say he's Filipino is because of the sound in the background at around 7:30 gave it away, the roar of a jeep net passing.

Thanks for the video on bench grinder. Need to dress my wheels.

you started with a very good bench grinder, most of then are not of that quality and need a modification at the level of wheel retaining washers.

Lived with vibration for years. It was out of round and wobbled side to side. I tried the tape for the side to side and it didn't work. I did something that is probably a huge no no. I used my diamond dresser on the sides of the wheel. Almost all vibration gone.

The first bench grinder I ever owned, I purchased new, at a flea market, for $10. No brand name, no stickers, just a nice, new appearing, 8" grinder. I put it on my bench, plugged it in, turned it on, and it bounced and danced right off the edge of the bench. Hey, I was 18, and stupid. Now I'm 66...... and still do stupid things occasionally. But at least I never bought a no brand power tool again, and got a cheap lesson on power tool safety. In retrospect, watching a new device so out of balance, bounce and dance around was pretty funny.

Excellent, I was wondering if you would address the wobble and how to tune. Simply foolish not to invest some time into shimming out the side wobble. I end up with wheels on my machines for years... have three. I have three that vibrate like old washing machines. That's a great tip using small labels. I often shim with aluminum cans and foil but aluminum won't stick as labels will. Soon as I get some time I'll do the same. A really good tip for a tool that is always running. Thanks Much.

Thank you Sir.🎉

Why is the direction arrow on the grinding stone and the machine in the opposit direction ????

Thank you for this video, my good man.

Great Video. Like other people I'd never knew this was necessary but evidently it'll cut down on noise and give the bearings an easier life so worth doing. Does the dressing tool come included with the grinder?

Which motorway did he film this at the side off.good useful vid but Waite till the rush hour as finished next time.

I seem to recall that a 1G vibrational level is just sufficient to cause a penny to bounce on a vibrating surface.

Did you use ordinary tape for shims? Did they have weights?

@Wood_And_Tools

Label stickers.

This is only partial. A bit dangerous to do on a bench grinder, but you can true the sides of the wheel also. I have done it on surface grinders more than once. Simple process, clamp a diamond to the bench in some way, and just touch the side of the wheel. Inside and outside. Also, it looked like his wheel bushing was too short for the wheel. It should go through the wheel far enough to stabilize the wheel completely, instead of just holding it with the nut and washers.

Man, we need to check how good the balance of each abrasive wheel is. Moreover, each circle must be checked separately. The abrasive material is not uniform, so even if the disc is perfect in geometry, one edge will still be a little heavier, which means there will be vibration. There are many videos on KZread on balancing abrasive wheels.

Nice video. Like others I had not considered this necessary. Why make the effort to tune it? Also I am pretty disappointed with my BOSCH BG guard removal by comparison to this Metabo. I thought the Bosch were better than the Ryobis etc, however the Metabo makes my Bosch look cheap and ill conceived. cheers

The wheel has been put on the wrong way around. At 2:28 look at the direction arrow on the side of the grindstone wheel. That probably had something to do with the problem.

👍

Instead of using a coin to measure vibration, there are a number of free apps you can use on any cell phone. That way you have actual numbers to go by instead of an estimation.

Set your grinders running clockwise . Dress worn stone with washers that rotate on a bolt , small washer large washer alternately

Am I missing something? The arrow on the left wheel is pointing opposite to the arrow on the guard.

+WoodAndTools thanks for answer , but i not only use stone wheels , it also ribbon , wool , textile and other wheels . *BTW* it was mostly rhetorical question . (*____-) Down below i answer to my question myself.

The left wheel's label suggests that you mounted it spinning in the wrong direction. I didn't think that grinding wheels were directional, but apparently the manufacturer did. They probably know best.

Very important to dress a grinding wheel to get rid of imbalance. It's like balancing a car's wheels. Fit a fixed shoulder piece on top of tool rest and you will be able to move dressing tool in a straight line across edge of wheel to remove imbalance and have a flat surface for sharpening your drills. Never grind on the side of a grinding wheel - EVER.

I have never done it and should of a long time ago but think its probably cheaper just to buy new wheels and then dress them going forward

I think that you may have the wheel on reversed. But great video anyways.

Taş , Motorun demir milin çıktığı yere dayanıyor ,önce orayı simetrik bir şekilde ayarlamalısın sonra taşı ayarlamalısın , sadece taşı ayarlayarak bunu yapman çok zor , taşı her çıkarıp taktığın da ,balans ayarı yine bozulacak , çünkü taş deliğinde çok az boşluk kalıyor , yani demek istediğim taşın değdiği yer simetrik olursa ,başka hiçbir şey yapmana gerek yok , 😊

Great job, but personally, I'd take the damn thing back to the seller and demand an upgraded version at no extra cost. Companies like Metabo definetly dont want or need the bad publicity. :)

To everyone saying the rotation of the wheel is backwards- grinding wheels are not directional! They are a cast product, it would make no difference which way it rotates.

Only one thing you must be by a road or Machinery is running in the background I'm a little hard of hearing and it was very noisy sometimes hard to hear you but your accent is just fine thank you

It will came back after useing it to much

after some usage it will again needs calibration --- i think it is better to use it without tuning cause nothing is perfect in this world some errors always occurs .....!

Your wheel is running in the wrong direction. Left side

At one point you can see that wheel is mounted in wrong rotation

All those videos about tuning $200 bench grinders are telling me it's a waste of time. I'll make myself a collar, put it perfectly on any shaft, 2 bearings and I'll drive it with a belt with almost any motor. I need it balanced and quiet, not for making anvils out of rails. Companies make them 500 Watts because it's cheaper than actually balancing the rotating assembly.
