Arrived in good time. The wheel was well packaged. When inspected the paper gasket was missing on one side, this is dangerous, so I made one from two sheets of printer paper, stuck it with spray adhesive. I did a ring test to make sure, there's no cracks in the wheel. That was good. When fitted to the grinder, it does not run concentric, over 1 mm runout. This makes the grinder vibrate badly. I inspected the plastic bushes, they seemed fine. The issue was the bore of the wheel, the bushes do not sit squarely in the wheel. I made new bush out of Delrin. This cured the side to side runout. Then I used a diamond dresser to true the wheel. All fine now. Providing you put some time and effort in its worth the money.

This wheel is very good quality. Very well balanced on my bench grinder. Would definitely buy another if needed.

Once mounted on the outboard side of a wood lathe was well enough balanced to sharpen a skew chisel straight from the package with no problem.
