I'm in the process of getting a landis surface grinder , trying to remember all my shop teachers taught over 40 years ago about running and using. Ever so slowly I'm getting my shop cleaned up to house my machinery . The greatest hardship is being in a wheelchair trying to move and reach things , let alone sorting boxing and storing all the woodworking and leather working tools and machines. Thanks for all of the vids you make and the bash must be great , God bless and thanks
Hi Stan, Great little demo on how to reclaim arbors. Simple is always good, yet effective. Thanks also for the reference to cleaning up the taper in the lathe.
Great stuff again, Stan. As a neophyte grinder hand, could you perhaps show various basic wheel dressing stands and holders and comment on their pluses and minuses? Perhaps show and explain what makes your favorite dresser stand your go to tool. I think I can wait a while on the fancier radius dressers, and they have been pretty amply covered by you and others already...
thanks Stan, what a great tip. I believe you just saved me some money. I a have an odd no standard taper on an older (1959) Blohm 816 surface grinder. it came with only one arbor and I it has been whacked due to the fading magnetic chuck ( installing a new one) I'm ordering a couple new arbors but salvaging the one that came with the machine is a bonus. I'm also attempting to make my own.
Nice demo on what to check and how to correct it. I was able to pick up a couple more arbors that were the right size, so can just use the ones I bored for lighter use and smaller wheels.
HI Stan, Great video. I made myself 4 extra balancing arbors for my 618 Freeport. I see those that you have are also balancing arbors but did you get the weights? I have to still make some for two of my arbors. I could make a few extras if you like. Just need the dimensions. Easy to make!
Excellent info, thanks for a great video. Since you essentially corrected the axial runout by truing the flange, is radial runout a concern (or not really) since the wheel itself is trued before use? Thanks again!
Generally there is a thou or 2 clearance on the thread to allow for this. There is of course the thick soft Blotting Paper type washers on each side of the grinding wheel to also take up any slight discrepancy in parallelism of the arbor flange faces.
+Dave Ticehurst Thank you, that helps me understand. I've used a friends surface grinder and hope to talk him into selling/trading with me, I'd love to get one in my garage. I'm trying to learn and these UA-cam videos and new friends have been a wealth of information. Thanks again.

A simple solution which, at first thought, seemed like a real problem. Thank you.
That's a great way to keep a tool in use instead of going to the scrap bin. Nicely done, Stan!
Sincerely,
Tom Z
Nice to see someone operating on a level of precision way above my own. Cool stuff. Thanks!
Hi Stan,

Thanks for the vidio.
Clear, simple explanation and cure.
You are part of the solution.

great info, nice to know how to reclaim expensive equipment. Thank you sir.
Nice tip on the true up of the arbor.
Good tip. I was expecting something much more elaborate like an abrasive stone in the radius dresser, the simple solutions are what I love. :-)
Thanks for solving the problems on one of my arbors. Now I can mount that one up.

Good to see you back. Missed your live feeds this week.
Work is crazy, we will get back to it soon!
I hate it when work gets in the way!
That worked well, nice job Stan.
A most ingenious fix!

Awesome method Stan! Thank you!!
That was very interesting Stan !!!
Thanks
As usual good video, and great content. Thank you for this one, I will use it.
Great vid/lesson....👍
as always great video and attention to details
Nice easy fix...
Still gotta find myself more arbors for my Norton 6 x 12, since I've only got one...
Good tip and simpler to do than I thought. Question: Why not true up all the used arbors you buy on eBay to make these almost perfect?
Great Video Stan! Abandoned arbours beware.....Thanks.
How about using an ultra sonic cleaner to clean the threads out? Nice video. Greg
Very nice vid and good explanation
very cool. thanks for the video
Very good tip Stan
Nice quick fix.
HI Stan, Great video. I made myself 4 extra balancing arbors for my 618 Freeport. I see those that you have are also balancing arbors but did you get the weights? I have to still make some for two of my arbors. I could make a few extras if you like. Just need the dimensions. Easy to make!
Clever. Thanks.
Creative... as usual

Radial isnt really a concern.
Hi Stan, I guess you don't need to measure radial runout of the arbor since you true your grinding wheels before use?
Hi Stan, how about showing the world how to make an arbor from scratch?
Good video, thanks. One question, how about the outer half, if it's not true would it out uneven pressure on the stone and cause run out?
Generally there is a thou or 2 clearance on the thread to allow for this. There is of course the thick soft Blotting Paper type washers on each side of the grinding wheel to also take up any slight discrepancy in parallelism of the arbor flange faces.

Nice!
Neat trick
did your guage auto reset at about 7:39? lol
I much prefer the regular video over the live.
Higher quality, in a shorter video
9:27 how to make a lathe out of surface grinder :)))
cool
Great idea. Am I the only one that thinks ya might need a shave (fore arm)?
Well, It's nice to know I was outbid by someone worthy :)
First
