Anyone changed a roughing wheel??

Hi everyone

Anyone out there with experience changing a roughing wheel on their edger? Is it an easy swap or does the nut need a specific torque or any re-calibration procedure needed?


We have a NIDEK LE 9000 S.


Thanks

Here's what I've learned: It;s an easy swap. Loosen nut, R&R roughing wheel and run a few test edgings using demo lenses and see if its under or over.
Seems to be it.....

That's pretty much it. Years ago when we had the old Wecos, we would also put a light coat of petroleum jelly on the shaft and on the inside face of each wheel to keep it lubricated.

Yep, that's it. Also, re-lube the shaft.

Looks like I need to update my Edging wheel as well. Gonna try a DIY and see how it goes!
