Just got a 5SG80 wheel for my Boyer 612 and it seems out of balance. Dressing hasn't completely helped- I can feel the vibration through the handles. Surface finish sucks and is wavy, maybe 0.1" period. Light cuts, 0.0005" max. I haven't had the same problem with my well worn coarse white "sugar" wheel. I've never used a fine grit wheel- are they denser and in more need of balance? Seems odd. I'm going to make a balancing flange and see if that helps, but this seems contrary to all the people who never need to balance 7" wheels.
