Auction-SURFACE GRINDER, Peterborough, ON

Wheel dress and balance will help, but you always get a better finish on hard materials. check end shake, and up/down rigidity. That sort of finish looks a little like wheel hop...

Yes, soft o1 tends to smear a bit, and you're right it does look like wheel hop. Could be an out of balance/dressed wheel. I'll know more once I play with it more. Grinding with an undressed wheel, after a move is really a useless test of anything, but I was in a hurry. I had starving kids inside that would Diiieeeeee if they missed a meal, or had to wait another 5 minutes :D. Might have time to play around with it after dinner tonight, as I finished my other project a bit earlier than I thought, so we'll see.

We're waiting.......:rolleyes:
Sorry, just can't help myself, its my inner kid...... And I might diiiieeeee if my curiosity itch doesn't get a scratch. :p
 
WHY?

And

"If you don't quit that right now, your dad is gunna pull over and I'm not gunna save you". Followed by instant silence.

What's funny about that is that i never in my life ever laid a finger on any of them.

But my wife is like a honey badger and I'm 2.5 times her size. They were prolly pretty good at instinctive extrapolation. Totally wrong answer, but still very effective.

That's ok. If you cover the teddy bear in white hair and wrinkles, add an eye patch and a goomer monocle, hunch him over a bit, and add a self supporting cane, it's prolly more accurate anyway.
 
Pretty darn good, the eyebrows need to be bushier, and there is beard on my lower lip. Other than that you could be a portrait artist.
 
Amazing really. My wife is still laughing. I sent you a photo by pm so you can see how good your art really is. If you put me in a lineup of 300 old men. 99% would nail me correctly from that picture.

I like nerds.

Re: Bushy eyebrows, one of the guys in the office at work (now in his mid 70's) was talking to me a few years ago, and kept blinking and rubbing his eye. He finally admitted he thought he had something in there, and asked if I could see anything. I had to break it to him that he had not one but several eyebrow hairs jabbing him. Things to look forward to.

If I comb my eyebrows down they cover my eyes. Worse, they are much stiffer hairs than I have most other places except my mustache.

I will come clean though, I've never balanced a wheel, we've always just put them on 3/4 tight, bumped the spindle a couple times, and then snugged them down and dressed. Then dress everytime you start it back up. Can't say I've ever seen a problematic out of balance wheel that caused surface finish issues.

Mostly agree with that, but its (imo) partially that most commercials shops I've seen have a heavier grinder than most home shops. That and they are probably buying quality wheels. I had a camel one once that was a disaster for balance, I've since bought Norton . .... it takes me a Loooooong time to go through a grinding wheel so its not like I'm buying dozes of them, but overall I think Norton wheels are well worth it.

On the dress everytime, I did that until putting a VFD on the grinder. Its a nice convenience for the home shop where you might get to pop out for a short period of time a few times a day vs being at it for a shift.
