Grizzly wet grinder wobble

[festal]

Hello all. Friend of mine gave me grizzly T10097 wet grinder and the wheels wobble. Any ideas how to fix the issue?

Here is a video of the wobble

Take the wheel off and check to see if the shaft is bent.  If it spins true, try mounting the other wheel on the wobble side.

If that fixes it, then buy a replacement wheel.

If the shaft is bent, you will probably have to replace the motor.  I don’t think you can swap out shafts.

If it is new, ask Grizzly for a replacement.

Thank you. Will test it out. It’s dated 2011 so definitely not new and discontinued on the grizzly website

If that's an actual video of the item you own, then the wheels wobble on both sides of the motor, so like Packard stated, check the shaft on the motor for runout.

Yep thats the video i made after i turned it on

Looking at that video closer, are you sure both of the wheels are securely attached to the shaft? I'd pull the wheels, clean the shaft and the wheel bores and make sure there are no small burrs that will hinder proper wheel attachment.

The wheel shaft is separate from the motor motor.
If the suggestions above do mot work, here is a link to the Grizzly parts page.

Well, it looks like most of the parts are no longer available.
I have found this to be the case on a lot of Grizzly tools lately. I used to like Grizzly, not so much anymore.

Took the wheels off

Here is a better video

I slowed the video down. Watching the end of the wheel shaft in slow motion, it appears that the end of the shaft is running true. The drive wheel appears to be out of round. The grinding wheel end is the important end, what does it look like running without the wheel on? Is the shaft tight in the bearings?

Looks like it’s an issue with the wheel. If you watch just the shaft I don’t notice any movement. The wheel could be of uneven thickness or the hole in the wheel could have been bored off center.

[member=71889]festal[/member] there are times when free isn't cheap enough. This may be one of those times.

Until 9/1/22 you can buy the current model of that sharpener from grizzly for $130

OR spend a bunch more and get a Tormek

[member=3192]rvieceli[/member] thats true.  I don't think i want to get another grizzly   I'll keep my eye on used Tormeks and see if i can find one.

[member=1903]JD2720[/member] i'll double check today. 

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] thats what it looks like.  I'll double check it again today.  Any ideas how to remove the wheel?  it has the pin in it.  Should I just hammer the pin out?

Is it a roll pin or a solid pin? If it's a roll pin it can be driven out in either direction.  If it's a solid pin examine both end diameters to make sure it's not a taper pin. If it's a taper pin you'd tap on the smaller diameter to drive it out. Be gentle but forceful.  [smile]

Looks like a roll pin. Its slotted in the middle

Then it looks like this?

If so, then it's the spring tension that holds it in the bore, a quick, sharp tap should break it loose it and then once it gets moving, you can continue to gently tap it through the shaft.

That’s me in a nutshell.  [eek]

There were 2 roll pins. Got them removed.  note to self - order pin punch. I managed to use center punch but ended up breaking one lol. 

Here is a video of the shaft.  Looks ok to me.  not sure how else to check it

Here is a video of a wheel. It does wobble.  I think thats the culprit
 

But good news is that wheel and roll pins are avaialble and are about $15 plus shipping. 

Any thoughts?
