    Default Need a new flange set for GMF bench grinder

    Hi guys,

    Im trying to source a new set of flanges for my 8" GMF bench grinder.

    I am located in Dural Sydney.

    I need one with a raised section for the inside flange to prevent the wheel hitting the inside of the grinder.

    Alternatively I could use a small section of tube cut to size, but would need to get this perfectly flat to avoid wobble.

    My wheels are vibrating excessively and there seems to be a fair bit of wobble when using the current flanges.

    Just trying to eliminate causes at this stage.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    My suggestion would be to find someone who has a metal lathe and knows how to use it
    would most likely cost a six pack, maybe post in the metal work section

    Matt,

    From the looks of the cast flange, the boss (raised part) has been beaten about somewhat. A burr on the face of the boss could make the flange wobble. The solution could be as simple as truing the face of the boss on a metal working lathe - only a tiny bit need be removed - and that is probably the easiest first step towards a solution.

    PM me if you would like me to try - I am in Sydney.

    Cheers,
    Bill
