Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As far as blade balancers go this die cast metal one is well made for the money and should last a lifetime.
My basic complaint is the point on the base that fits inside the top cone is a bit too big in diameter. If it tapered down to, say 1/8 inch diameter and then to a point, then the top cone would be free to tilt easier, and it would be more sensitive to smaller changes in weight. Both of the blades I've balanced with this have come out relatively vibration free, but it seems like you could lay quarters on the end of the blade and still not get it to move appreciably.
UPDATE: I've taken a file and rounded off the sharp shoulder on the balancing point. (see photo) Now the tip is effectively
1/8 inch diameter and it takes less force to tilt off center. Rechecking my balanced blade shows the balance was off
slightly, but not as much as I suspected. I took a little more off from the heavy side and got the blade into perfect
balance. Now you can hardly tell the difference between the blade running and blade stopped (declutched).
So I'm upgrading it to five stars. In stock form it does a great job, if you want to modify the shoulder and make it
more sensitive, you can do that too. Just rotate and file a little at a time.
