O1951 plugged diameter into the formula, I got 1858 using 13.97cm radius. If it works and doesn't shake itself to pieces, nothing else matters.

Glassk...one can never have "too much stuff" if your an inventive type.

I guess we can disagree o1951. In the case of the wheel balancers, they have sensors that determine the amount of out of balance condition and record it in relation to the position on the balancer shaft. I think they are rather sensitive load cells. That is entirely different from marking...

glassk, the link has one of the balancers like I make and use in the second photo. I calculated the rim speed of your examples and the 3450 rpm with 8" is 120.4 ft/second and the second, 6000 rpm is 209 ft/second. That will give something to compare to. dikwks, how many rpm is your shaft...

o1951, that's how one would make it run true, but it would not balance it. A combination of both methods would not be real difficult. What I described for static balance is certainly no fancy machine, it's simple and can be extremely accurate for equalizing weight. If one only does your...

We used a De-Laval centrifuge in making bacon bits, real ones, to separate the rendered fat from the solids in a through feed process. I'll look into how they worked (but I don't work there any longer). How would bacon fat run? LOL

Re balancing, I have made several static balancers that work very well. I make sawdust blower impellers with very heavy plate (40 hp or so) and they run very smoothly. I could get a picture or two of a balancer if anyone has an interest (but don't have one here to take a pic of). They are...
