8.2

  Wheel balancing 

With the buffer 

unplugged from the power 

source

, and arbor nuts snugged down, rotate 

wheels by hand and observe their motion.  

A buffing wheel has proper balance when: 

1.  The wheel’s outside face spins true and round; 

that is, its circumference rotates concentric to 
the arbor. 

2.  There is no side-to-side wobble.  

8.2.1

  Adjusting concentricity  

If the outside face is not rotating concentric to arbor, 
try shifting the wheel closer to arbor centerline 
before tightening the nut. 

A wheel rake (not provided) may also be used to 
shape the buffing wheel for better concentric 
rotation. 

8.2.2

  Correcting side-to-side wobble 

The IBG-SSB series Buffers have large, machined 
flanges, making wobble unlikely if a good quality 
buffing wheel is used. Should a wheel exhibit need 
for adjustment: 

1.  Loosen nut and rotate the outer flange a little. 

Snug the nut and spin the wheel by hand to 
check. 

2.  If wobble still exists, continue repeating step 1, 

rotating outer flange incrementally in the same 
direction. Make sure to keep the wheel in the 
same position each time. 

3.  If complete rotation of outer flange has proved 

ineffective, remove nut, outer flange, and wheel 
(keep wheel in same orientation by placing a 
pencil mark on it somewhere for reference). 
Then rotate inner flange about 90° and repeat 
the above steps for the outer flange. 

4.  Continue this combination of flange movements 

until the wobble is eliminated. 

If required, a shim made of paper or card stock may 
be placed between flange and wheel side. 

NOTE: Slight wobble may still exist at spin-up and 
spin-down, but will not affect normal speed 
operation. 

8.3

  Buffer maintenance 

Periodically use a wheel rake (not provided) to clean 
and shape the buffing wheels.     

8.4

  Additional servicing 

Any additional servicing on the buffer machine 
should be performed by an authorized service 
representative.
