I may a bit late to the party...That was my next thing to do. I just got 3 new hubs off ebay. And don't know if they run a "swash plate" wobble.
Can you share what hubs fit this machine? I have an almost identical machine, and am having trouble finding what hubs fit this unit. The plan would be to pick up one or two, and dedicate one to a diamond wheel for carbide.
Fortunately the grinder one in the shop here runs pretty well. It really only gets used for little parts, tho. Having this little guy for HSS (and soon carbide) grinding is really handy. It even gets used for the odd off hand grinding when a nice true wheel is needed.
Also, you can use accelerometers like you did with a photo-pickup to balance rotating items. Using the captured acceleration and the photo pickup trace on the scope lets you pick up where heavy spot is. Then grind a little bit of off where needed. Repeat the process until it runs smooth. I've heard you can do two plane balancing like this with two accelerometers, although I haven't tried the process myself.
Thanks,
Dan
