After using wheel shaver.......a lot of wobble when spinning

Post by mbb »

I bought a wheel shaver and played with it some. I find that wheels that spin smoothly before I shave them, mayl spin with violent wobble after shaving some, even though they are obviously much rounder.

This makes me wonder if the wheel shaver in fact will un-balance wheels. If the mold is pretty good, and the wheel is only distorted when it is removed, I can see the wheel balance could become worse when material is removed by shaving, even though it is actually rounder.

Has anyone experienced this?
