Five years ago, I purchased a new Victor T&C grinder (a Cinci #2 copy). The grinding wheel arbors all came with rubber washers which you use against the wheel. The washer is approximatley 0.05" thick and the same diamter as the arbor nut. I mount the wheel on the arbor in the the following order: begin with the wheel arbor, grinding wheel with a paper blotter on each side, rubber washer, steel shim with anti-rotation tab, arbor nut.
Does any one have an opinion of these rubber washers? I've never seen them mentioned on this forum. Occasionally, I get some vibration (primarily due to the wrong wheel/steel combination leading to wheel loading) but wonder if it would be less likely to vibrate without the rubber washer.
The obvious answer is to try it myself. Unfortunately, without the washer, I can't quite tighten the 1/4" wheels that I use. So, I ask for your opinion before ording a new arbor just to try it.
Thanks,
John
