Home made mill a little wobble.

[Kwill]

My drive side has a little wobble

[Crusarius]

keep the bolts tight and I doubt it will matter.

[Kwill]

I think this would have worked OK but I would have had to take a tire and wheel to town to get switched over. I came up with a 5 stud hub that with some slight modification worked out. At least I hope.

[Slingshot]

   That wheel won't know whether it has 4 studs or 5 studs spinning it.

With the extra weight of that single extra lug on that rim the centrifugal force will probably expand that rim at least a few thousands if an inch. So watch for your band to stretch a bit.

One of these should balance it out, just watch your speed

Ask a question get replies like your an idiot. Thanks guys 8)

That's the norm around here... we all like to joke around. No harm done...

, we've been trying to fix the kiln after a mouse claimed squatters rights in the wiring. One of the caps fried. While we were emailing schematics and suggestions around yesterday morning I got flux capacitored  . Somebody at O'reillys must have been bored one day

Always good to have a barn full of junk, I found 4 this morning.

All the rotating parts care about is balance

So a ever so slight wobble might be a issue?

[Magicman]

I have never built a sawmill but I can tell you that the bandwheels on my Wood-Mizer LT40 have balancing holes drilled into them.

[Resonator]

MM may have never built a sawmill, but he's sure to have REBUILT his LT40, "one piece at a time". (Old Johnny Cash song.) 

[Magicman]

Take care of your sawmill and your sawmill will take care of you.  ;)

[Kbeitz]

My steel band saw wheels came from Grizzly tools and also have the balance holes drilled into them.

[Don P]

For trailer wheels I'd go to the tire shop and have them balanced. I don't think you want wobble of any kind.

The wobble is in The hub not the tire

[Don P]

... any kind

[MikeZ]

Kwill: When I built my mill I purchased 2 new rims and tires for a trailer. Found out trailer type rims are not made quite to specs as auto rims are. Got rims from junk yard off of car, had tires mounted and balanced. Also got a good quality car tire and out of round almost went away. I was OCD about concentricity and wobble. A blind man could see the diff between trlr rims and auto rims. My experience!

[Kwill]

Its in the hub not the tire or rim. You can turn the hub by hand and see a slight wobble.

[MikeZ]

I also pulled every thing back apart and turned the hub face on shaft to be sure.  My experience was the rims were out. When I refaced the hubs they were very very close to start with.

Although I haven't built a mill, that would concern me.
Have you tried re-packing the hubs and see if that fixes you wobble?
My thinking says if you can see a wobble in just the hub, how much is that wobble multiplied when you put a tire on it?

[Kwill]

It's not a bearing hub. Shaft goes through it and was welded. It is a very slight wobble even with the tire on.  I'm going to get my engine started and run it and see how it does with some speed. Wish I had a old blade to throw on it and see if of tries to throw it.

[Kbeitz]

If it's a welded shaft then it should be easy to fix. Just hove it chucked up in a lathe and have it turned.
