I have an 8" slow speed (1725 rpm) grinder from Woodcraft and the T

also do not run true. I suppose it is like the bounce on a bowl.
Once started, one must make an entirely fresh cut to get the bounce
out. But how does one start a new cut? Would a single point diamond
work, and if so where does one buy one of those?

Ok.. going to assume from your description that you're more experienced in this
than I am, but the obvious questions first:

Are they properly installed?
Have you tried changing switching them just for giggles to see if they like the
other side better?

I use a single point dresser in my bowl gouge jig.. Seems to work best for me...

I have also had bad bushings/adapters, usually the plastic ones that adapt for
shaft size, so now I pop them out of new wheels and use the old ones that were
already running true...
