Cliff, Tested and approved! Used a cheap oilstone and did what you did and what an improvement :) I had to speed up a little bit due to low tourque on my mini mill but still worked out great.And that nice feeling grinding on a wheel that actually runs true. Thanx again for the tip

Genius. I trued up my cup wheel on the lathe before seeing this video. I would never have thought of the stone idea to true the face though. It worked very well, thanks for that.

Nice work Cliff!

Excellent video. I've been in the trade for 42 years. I've done a lot of cutter grinding but have never bought the cheap wheels from China. However, I have just retired and am buying a used Deckel grinder (Cheap) for my garage, so will be buying those wheels too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about truing the cheap Chineese wheels. I will likely have to use the grinder itself to true up the body and the diamond face of the wheel, cause I don't have another machine to do it on. Should not be a problem though. Some how I will have to fix a piece of oil stone either to the dresser or to the side of the tool holding fixture of the Deckel grinder to achieve this. Maybe this will help in the future, for when the wheel gets bound up with carbide. Just a quick way to dress the wheel without removing it. Only problem is the rpm will be too fast. Cheers!

This video is more valuable than diamonds. I’m going todo it all!

Hi Cliff, Thanks for all your videos this year and a Merry Christmas to you and yours, Cheers Dave.

I love this video, just had to come back to share my appreciation again, great work Cliff, thank you!

Thank you very much for making this video. It helps me tremendously.

I just bought a used D bit grinder. Great video thanks for sharing.

This was pure gold! as a hobbyist with limited budget I have also a few of these cheap diamond wheels and mine are also shockingly out of roundness. Finding videos like this is what make this hobby so much fun ! so today I will go down in my workshop and try out your method and if time allows I might make a tool for a tool that I will never use :)

this is a golden tip ! thanks for sharing !

Just found this video. Already made some adjustable arbors for my clarkson tool and cutter grinder.

Excellent idea, thank you for sharing! I have an old British Alexander D bit grinder, will try this on the Chinese wheels I've been sourcing!

Great selection of tips. Thanks.

I just bought one of these Deckel knockoff grinders and the wheel run-out was horrible. I thought the spindle was bad. I'm going to give your wheel truing method a try. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Cliff, that was a very cool vid!!

Cliff thanks for this video, it must be good to get the nod of approval from Robin 🙂.

You are my HERO...............Cheers, Davo from OZ

Very good information! Thanks for sharing.
