If the centerholes are sufficiently angled with respect to the

shaft, it may indeed force it to wobble.


AGAIN... NOT-A-CHANCE, unless you don't seat the flange washers. If you
don't do that, you have no reason to expect the wheel to run true...


I've seen some grinding wheels with a center hole plugged with a grey
material (?sulfur) which is then precisely bored to the shaft dimension plus
a small tolerance... if you tighten the flanges on such a wheel, if it is
bored slightly askew, you'll bend the shaft and everything goes wobbly.


Epoxy. If from a good supplier, the hole will be perpendicular to the
faces.
