Some time last year, I think it was December, I ordered a pair of Norton 3X grinding wheels for my Baldor grinder. Well finally the wheels arrived this week, after being back ordered. To enhance the grinding experience, I called our friends at One-way and ordered their grinding wheel balancing kit. I also asked for the kit that was used with Baldor grinders.
This afternoon I went through the ritual of balancing the new wheels. Overall, I am happy with the results. Nearly all the vibration is gone and what is left is quite small, not enough to go thru the third degree of wheel balancing again.
Finally, my problem is that I am not happy with the way the balanced wheels fit on the Baldor grinder. I did not find a separate bag in the shipment that said it was a Baldor kit. As it stands, the wheel assembly extends out enough from the motor housing that there is not enough room to put the cover plate back on the grinder frame.
Soooo,,,, Have any of you good people installed the One Way balancing kit on a Baldor grinder???? If you have, what was contained in the "Baldor Kit"?
Come Monday, I will hop on the land line to One Way and ask about 1) the kit contents, 2) the proper fit of the assembly in the grinder. I thought I would has here first in case I had another of my famous "senior moments" and the answer was obvious.
