I have a diamond wheel like this one in the picture, 5" in dia. It's an 11V9.
The hole is slightly oversize and is a sloppy fit on my machine arbor so it runs slightly eccentric.
I tried lining the perimeter of the hole with fine line masking tape to take up the play but then it doesn't slip over the arbor.
I was thinking of boring the hole oversize and making a thin wall PVC bushing. But the problem is how can I mount and center a wheel of this shape on a lathe or mill??? The wheel runs out of center by about .006 and the hole measures about 1.254.
I have a few Triumph alox wheels that have plastic bushings in them with a slight flare so they seat firmly on the arbor with no play. That's a great idea, all wheels should use that design.
