Here is the web page

If you go down to the list of the three models, you'll see that the 1/2"
one has "Instr" that you can click on to see the instructions. It's
basically two screws with washers that you move to balance the wheel.
Pretty neat idea. Too bad it costs so much. The balancing arbor would be
easy for anyone to make up. But the part that attaches to the grinding
wheel itself would be another matter.

Here is a web page with a better description and pictures;

And from the manufacturer directly:

Something I found very interesting, they have a copy of the instructions for
a prior version: http://www.oneway.ca/pdf/balance_kit_old.pdf This version
uses a series of threaded holes for the balancing screws rather than the
sliding T-Slot system. This is a method that I can replicate with the tools
I have.
