Flywheel balancing

The flywheel was mounted on a lathe using a rod with the same diameter as the motor shaft. It was then aligned using a dial gauge and the outer edge of the flywheel was machined to balance the flywheel better.

The motor plate will be given a finishing touch and then the motor will be mounted again to see if vibrations are now on an acceptable level.
