Got a few questions here...
I have a Ryobi grinder that I picked up from HD a few years ago. I've been getting some hand tools that I would like to use the grinder on to put a hollow grind on them. I've got a Veritas grinding jig along with a Norton cool grinding wheel to put on the grinder. Would like to use this, but I can't even use the grinding jig because the grinder vibrates so badly upon startup. It does seem to quiet down at full speed, but it will beat the crap out of my grinding jig if I start the grinder with the jig hugging the wheel.
So I figured I'd get a grinding wheel balancer. What I found was the Oneway system. I thought the balancer was something completely different. I had envisioned a disc you mounted on the outside of the grinding wheel with some ball bearings that float freely in a track to help balance it. From what I can gather with the Oneway system, you actually balance the grinding wheel itself. Basically what you're doing is making sure the OD of the wheel is concentric with the shaft diameter?
So I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if the Oneway system is what I need and if it will work with what I have. I only have the one Norton wheel and left the OEM wheel on the other side. I'm assuming I'd need to balance both wheels, so will the Oneway be capable of balancing both types of grinding wheels? Otherwise I'm going to have to go with a different system. Thanks for any help.
