I got an 8" bench grinder for Christmas. Not of terribly great quality, but I asked for this one, so whatever. I have a 6" with a stone and a wire wheel. I wanted something bigger for grinding tool bits. This one works nice. The wheels are heavy so takes a while to get up to speed, but maaaan are they out of round. Thing walks across the bench and makes a hell of a noise that vibrates the house.
I have a flat diamond dresser that I use on the 6" and got that wheel pretty true, but I worked on these 8" for quite a while. Garage is cloudy from stone dust. I have the face pretty true but the sides travel back and forth almost a 1/16". I can't seems to true them up. I have the dresser pushed against the rest to try to keep it steady as I grind. Just not happening.
Ideas?
I've almost considered rigging them up in the lathe, but that might warrant a tear down and clean once I'm done to get rid of all the damaging dust...
