Questions & Answers

I'm looking for a 3/4" arbor grinding wheel. Is this going to work, and if not, what else might?

In the Q, there was one individual who It comes with adapters to fit three different sizes of arbors, according to A. Because mine was a 1", I tossed the plastic adapter in the middle without reading the label. You should be able to use it without difficulty. People who claim it isn't balanced, by the way, are completely insane. Mine worked perfectly, but if yours doesn't, you'll need to adjust it. Purchase one of the diamond-surfaced T-shaped tools. I was blown away by how well it worked.

Is this going to fit on a 1/2 inch arbor grinder?

The wheel was a perfect fit for my 1/2" grinder! Adapters are included to fit three different arbor sizes!

Wheel with a shaky motion This wheel is unbalanced, as others have pointed out

3/5

I've tried to get it to center, but it shakes my grinder a lot unless I really put my weight into it.

Wheel balance is excellent

5/5

This wheel is as close to perfect as they come for keeping the grinder on the bench true and stable. br>br>For heavy work, I'll also be looking for under 40 grit! I'm going to put Forney at the top of my list.

When my bench grinder began to walk across the work bench, I realized it was time to replace the wheel

4/5

I bought one for a buck at a local big box store, but it was 1/8 inch out of round - unusable. Although the Forney wheel was more expensive, I knew it would be accurate and reliable. My grinder has returned to its previous state of humming and remaining stationary. Something that spins at 3200 RPM needs to be well-made!.

For aggressive metal shaping, this is a good grinding wheel to use

5/5

The product is excellent. In less than 5 minutes, I was able to sharpen a lawnmower blade that was severely dull. It saves money because sharpening my blade at a local shop costs $20. The first use was enough to pay for it.

It is oblong right out of the box and wobbles back and forth

3/5

It's only been a few weeks since I've used it, but it's definitely not straight and has a high spot. With dressers, I can't get it to be smooth. As a result, I believe that this device is rather ineffective.

a very nice grinding wheel I will most likely do business with them again in the near future because of the high quality of their product

So far, it appears to be satisfactory and fulfills my requirements

4/5

So far, it appears to be working properly and accomplishes the task at hand. Even though it's a tight fit, it wobbles a little, indicating that the center hole wasn't perfectly perpendicular to the wheel.
