Re: Shooter wheel balancing

Our vibration isn't all that bad. As an ex-Navy mechanic, though, it sort of offends me I'm pretty sure the vibration is coming from the wheel, the shaft is good-n-straight with nice sturdy block bearings on either side of the wheel coupled via spider coupling to the motor. It really is sort of a low priorty fix right now, we need to complete some more important things first (like our ball feed). Just in case I have a kid standing around, though, I can have him work on it.

One way to do it would be set up to beams about 4" apart parallel to each other. Then put an axel through your wheel and set the two sides of the axel on the beams with the wheel in the middle. Look for the side that falls to bottom, and START FILING
I think this idea should work I was hoping for something to do in place though.
