Guys,
I'd like to find out different methods of rotating parts balancing that don't require any special balancing machinery: just the common machine shop stuff and machines.
I'll need to balance a steel idler 4.750" in dia. x 4.000" long with about 1" bore. The idler is off a vertical belt sander, and it rotates at about 3500 rpm.
Even if you go the "mandrel on the fences" method, how sensitive is it, and how do you know how much to remove from the heavy side?
Thank you.
Mike
