If you haven't seen it yet, Tim Yoder, on Popular Woodworking Magazine's "Woodturning with Tim Yoder" video series, has just released a video that addresses how to correctly install a new Grinding Wheel on a Bench Grinder. Tim demonstrates a series of steps to ensure that a new grinding wheel runs true both radially and laterally.

In addition to the Popular Woodworking Magazine's web site, Tim Yoder also has his own YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/woodturningwithtim1/videos - although videos that Tim makes for Popular Woodworking appear on Tim's own YouTube channel around three weeks after they appear on the Popular Woodworking web site.

Two things that I intended to include when I first wrote this post, and then promptly forgot about after I was interrupted by a phone call....
The fancy diamond stone dressing tool that is used in this video is interesting, but you can manage quite well without resorting to buying an expensive accessory as shown in the video. I use a cheap rectangular diamond dressing stone (McJing's I think), in combination with a small engineer's square.
One edge of the engineer's square rests against the edge of the rectangular tool rest, and the handle of the stone dressing tool rests against the edge of the engineer's square. This arrangement allows you to dress the grinding wheel in a way that ensures that the face of the wheel ends up being straight and square to the edge of the tool rest.
As for the suggestion in the video about replacing the plastic sleeve in the centre of a grinding wheel with a more precisely machined metal sleeve - not exactly a new idea. Blackwoods sell steel sleeves for various sizes of grinding wheels, designed to replace the plastic sleeves supplied with most grinding wheels.
