Really good video chuck, thanks for a great presentation

[@robertdebusk6157]

Looks like a great product Chuck, I'm sure you are only offering the best for a reasonable price. Thanks for the effort you have gone through to offer a solid product with good documentation on the balancing procedure.
Take Care and Stay Safe.

Great review Chuck. If I had a grinder I would definitely get some of those rings.

I guess it's like your car wheels getting balanced, but this is a whole different incredibly accurate animal! :)

With threaded set screw holes like that you also have a method of capturing small amounts of loose weight for fine tuning. Lead shotgun pellets (if you can even buy them still) if not, then lead .177" pellets would work.

[@outsidescrewball]

thanks for viewing and your comments....fyi, I did fool with the lead pellets, I did not care for that method...

Those look great, Chuck. I still need a few more...can you hook me up with a discount? Your 20 holes is an improvement over my 16. CNC is the way to go on an item like this.

[@bcbloc02]

Does a screwy ball come with a ring as well? :-) Sadly these won't fit my grinder.

[@outsidescrewball]

Too funny....thanks for viewing

[@jeffanderson4979]

Do you have any left?
How much?
I could make them also.
What a great idea. I’ve been drilling my wheels

[@outsidescrewball]

Hello Jeff...sorry, I have sold all of the units and don't plan on have more built....good luck with the build...

Chuck save one for me...Dave

[@outsidescrewball]

going fast....

I'm just curious, why did you have Joe make the rings instead of making them yourself? They appear to be fairly simple projects, what am I missing? I'm certain there is something I'm missing, I do not have experience on a surface grinder. From appearances it seems to be a simple threaded ring with indexed tapped holes for grub screw weights. Is there something about the application that requires absurd tolerances? Does it have to be completely ground?

[@danneumann3274]

Joe has a cnc Fadal ( like Mine) Joe may have programed that part on the cnc . In probable less that 5 minutes You have a completed part. He probably wanted many of them to sell ( as He is) its very hard to machine things manually in batch runs and make a profit.

[@outsidescrewball]

thanks for viewing and your comments, Dan below somewhat answered you various questions, although 5 minutes does not include the material prep to size, fixture creation for the CNC, tooling setup, and final quality/detail cleanup...Yes, I can make one in my shop or many...it is a function of time as I wanted to market a product to the machinist community that I believe has value....suggest you make one without absurb tolerances and see how long it take you to create from start to finish, then re-read your questions....

[@jpsimon206]

@@outsidescrewball I'm very sorry if this came across critical, that was not my intent. At the time I asked the question, you had not announced you were doing a production run, you were describing going from 3D printed to metal. At the time I was under the impression it was only for your own uses. I did not even consider production. I can see how it sounds in retrospect, but I assure you it is accidental

[@testyourdesign233]

The balancing stands and arbors are very expensive. I've been working on a balancing stand design. Looks fairly simple but like everything else the devil is in the details.

[@outsidescrewball]

thanks for viewing and your comments, good luck with your design/build

[@danrabenhorst2549]

how much are they?

[@outsidescrewball]

send a direct email for sale information

[@RedDogForge]

how much are they and how do i order?

[@outsidescrewball]

thanks for watching, I did a limited run and have sold out, don't plan on making further units

[@RedDogForge]

@@outsidescrewball could you make the prints available then?

[@ExtantFrodo2]

For my bench grinder, I just use duct tape on the side of it. Use at your own risk. YMMV
