DIY - Grinding wheel balancing fixture

Short video about my surface grinding wheels balancing fixture that i made few weeks ago. Turned out very well for me and i really surprized with its sensitive.
As always, THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Thanks for your support: / calem21

Nice simple design on the balancing fixture. I would of never thought of using wood jointer blades. Looking forward to the vise build. It's nice to hear your voice.

[@DuncanAitken]

Wow, nicely done! Thanks for the insights on how to build a balance tester - as well as the results of both a balanced and imbalanced wheel. Looking forward to your vise build.

[@thecrazysomething]

Always Good to see your channel name pop up on my subscriptions. A vice from scratch? Cannot wait! 👍

[@robbiexps]

You did a good job of the last vice you built. I hope the milling vice build goes to plan! Your videos have inspired me to build things the way I want them, not for anyone else, just like the way you build.

[@dalegriggs5392]

CaLem I always look forward to your videos. Your stone balancer is a fine example of your mechanical ingenuity and ability. This shows it’s really not necessary to buy high priced devices to get the job done. Thanks.

[@bdkj3e]

That was a pretty slick setup that definitely improved the surface finish from what I could see, can't wait for the vice video, keep up the great work!

[@bradthayer6782]

You keep advancing faster in your technique than anyone else on YT. Awesome job again!

[@TomMakeHere]

Also keen to see the vice build You could have filled holes in the casting with body filler, but it will be way cooler to see a vice build!

[@harlech2]

Great work! Love to see shop made tools like this. Keep it up, man, you are doing great.

[@kevinfaulkner8801]

As always , nicely done. The difference that a properly balanced wheel made was amazing. And it was good to hear your voice again.

[@chetleonard169]

continually impressed Ca Lem !

[@mongolike513]

Hey Ca Lem not a boring video. The process and achievement of better results are a great story. I look forward to your next project of making a block of iron out of a mill vice. Cheers.

[@stormkhan4250]

LOL! Anyone can make a block of iron out of a mill but it takes a great amount of talent to make a mill out of a block of iron. ;)

[@mechguy83]

Loving this channel, cant wait for the next video!

[@johnallison4904]

One state your vids never achieve is boring. Good luck with the vise project, and in these worrying times stay safe and well.

[@eddietowers5595]

Geez, This is a great idea, it should be a standard tool in any shop. Great Job!

[@mwfolmar11]

Keep up the awesome work Hoss!!!

[@a320214]

Clever !! i'll make one very soon !! Thank you for sharing your time and talent !!

[@ferb7452]

Outstanding work sir Never stop this way of working.

[@bostedtap8399]

Brilliant inventive idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldvantongeren8385]

Thanks very much for sharing! One knows you should balance, your video makes us more aware how important it is in a pleasant to watch manner, thanks for that and looking forward to your next project!

[@garyhall2126]

Your creativity and resourcefulness amaze me! Makes me ashamed of my lazy ways! Keep up the great work!

[@martinsiemens2120]

Excellent balancing Cal !!

[@st3althyone]

Very nice indeed, can’t wait for that vise project!!

[@FredMiller]

Very cool project! Thanks for sharing!

[@johndagenais2565]

Very interesting results!

[@jackleg693]

Beautiful editing and great to watch

[@billchiasson2019]

Looking forward to the vise build!

[@JDLarge]

Did you say “hopefully?” Of course it’ll come out awesome because that’s your standard, it’s what you do! You can’t fool us... Ok, maybe once in a while.😉 looking forward to seeing the vise being built. ✌🏼

[@Mark_How]

Really good workmanship as always!

[@davidmelton7268]

Great work on the balancer! Really enjoy your videos...you are a master of your craft. Can't wait to see the vise :-)

[@CraigsWorkshop]

A useful jig, and a great result on the grinder finish. I can't wait to see that vise build. :)

[@ROBRENZ]

Nicely done, enjoyed! All the best, Robin

[@rgmoore]

Very nice work on the video and the balancer. I built a motorcycle wheel balancer in a slightly different way. It is amazing how good such simple tools are. Not everyone can own a high price electronic balancer and honestly, most don't need it. Thank you for sharing!

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing.

[@philallen9650]

Quality engineering skills!! good work!

[@dilipbaumier1327]

Dear friend, A very good demonstration of how important static & running balance is in revolving devices. I cannot wait to see that new cast iron vice project. Very well done yet again. Kind regards.

[@russtdodd]

This is fantastic! Thanks.

[@Sodabowski]

Oooh that vice build looks very promising!

[@bigbird2100]

A. Great and informative video would help many in understanding the importance of a balanced surface grinder wheel 👍

[@waitemc]

Cool looking forward to it

[@andrzej3511]

Ostatni szlif to chyba już submikronowa dokładność obróbki! Gratuluję rewelacyjnych rezultatów - robią wrażenie!!!

[@stephenmurray2335]

Brilliant content, beautifully presented. Top drawer entertainment for me - many thanks for sharing!

[@dkaardal]

Thanks for this. I'll be building one to use with my new(old) Jones and Shipman 540P. This video will be a big help!

[@Kevin-gx8lc]

Fantastic video Ca Lem. Looking forward to see you carve a machine vise out of a solid block of cast iron!!! Greetings from Southport UK.

[@gabrielovalle9748]

Good job bro!!

[@TrustNotta]

Interesting. Nice job. 👍🏼

[@eMeMolero]

I love your video style! And this was a Great learning for me. "A year later..." Jajaja

[@ShotgunAU]

Awesome vid, not boring at all. Thank you. TOT would approve.

[@melgross]

That’s some big piece of steel you ordered. That would cost almost as much as a good milling vise here in the USA. Great job on the balancer.

[@fraggler12]

Nice project!

[@leriksenbendigo]

It's my birthday today, so I'm taking this video as your present to me. Thank you !!

[@klausnielsen1537]

You sure have a lot of patience and skill Mr. I like your progress and how you show it with the video. Keep it up. You earned another subscriber :-) Have a nice day.

[@Progressivo_]

awesome video!

[@ovalwingnut]

Wonderfully fantastic and beyond COoL to dive into the invisible world... Thank you!

[@wp262]

Looking forward to the milling vise video!

[@russellhayward2359]

Looking forward to the vice build 😁

[@vallejokid1968]

What a difference a years worth of work makes.

[@georgehanganu6754]

You should be proud of yourself Well done I really like your videos

[@Ray420C]

Nice job

[@jasonharman5083]

great work

[@wojciech_migda]

That video was anything but boring!!! Really great editing and special effects. As alway a pleasure being a guest in your workshop!!!

[@Thunderbelch]

Great fixture! I've also considered getting a nice chunk of cast iron to make a proper milling vise. The ideal design would be modeled after the Orange vises, with jaws you can configure many ways, an "anglock" type feature to pull the jaws down, and a screw that pulls rather than pushes.

[@makermadeinitaly6242]

Fantastica riffinitura...Top!!!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Love the design!

Thank Mr Yuchol

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Perfeccionismo. Fantástico trabajo. Un saludo desde España

[@merlinchampenois6754]

nice project hope you will succeed !

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Very cool, elegant, simple design. If I ever get a surface grinder then I'm stealing your idea, lol!

Everett's Workshop thank you. You will get a SG soon, for sure ;)

[@homemadetools]

Good work. We posted your video on our homemade tools forum yesterday :)

[@xgaper7652]

[@TinyWorkshop]

Good luck for the vice project :)

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

very good video..thanks for your time

[@werschkowdennis6533]

Very nice. 👍👍👍

[@phucnguyenCNC]

Awesome!!!

[@mdhebert]

Looking forward to the vice build.

[@Asaadomar]

Liked the video. Waiting for the new vise build

[@randyhager2054]

OH YEAH......Ca' Lem's gotta big ol chunk of cast iron and knows how to cut it down to size!!!! Most cast volume made pieces have all kinds of porosity in it. Just bondo over then to make the surface look smooth.....unless its within the mating/sliding parts that need to be above average smoothness.

[@pilgrimdust7511]

impressive

[@lactomao]

Thanks from Colombia

[@werschkowdennis6533]

Без базару.

[@dlfabrications]

Simple and functional, great video. Oh when dressing the grinding wheel ( resurfacing the wheel) you should dress it with coolant if you are grinding a part with coolant and dress it dry if you are grinding a part dry.

[@Mr-ut7nj]

nice!

[@darkcrusade5785]

Oh god, this result is very good

[@gettosurfer]

You rock!

[@ZOREDA100]

Espectacular

[@tableshaper4076]

I'm shocked it made that much difference!

[@nezamshalchi]

can't wait

[@makeadnane]

nice good luck

[@timothywalsh866]

[@jeanloreaud9282]

Très joli travail bravo,pas facile à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

[@malcolm2501]

Cool tool man! Like the graphics. Have you been watching click springs channel? Looking forward to the vice restoration 😃 Always a pleasure to see you work.

[@par4par72]

Good job !! Heavily deburr parts before you finish grind the side to be ground. That way you have minimal (if any at all) to be deburred. and no finish surface to get scared.

[@barthanes1]

Awesome, I have not seen anyone make a machinist's vice from cast iron.

[@CajunGreenMan]

Looking forward to seeing how you make the vise. Not sure why the closed captioning doesn't show on this video. Keep up the great work!

[@jalechavez6042]

Muy buen Trabajo...!! Saludos from Chile.. ji ji ji

[@enriquedemaria5071]

Excelente determinación de todos los elementos de balanceado . saludos León GTO México. Like

[@chrisjennings4569]

I think you're close. I have some advice. Get a note book of paper. Place paper onto the mag chuck then your part on the paper. Easier to remove, might not need pliers. Every time you use the grinder, run the table at a slow speed and max travel for the time it takes the machine to do an oil cycle. For example, if your machine will squirt oil once every 5 min, run the table for 5 min. Do both axis. If the machine sits for more than 4 hours, do it again. The oil is a vibration dampener too. Great job on the balancer! Every time you turn on the spindle, dress the wheel. The start up shock will shift the wheel on the arbor. It's preferred to leave the spindle running until completly done with the job.
