Wobbly ceiling fan
I have a ceiling fan with a serious wobble. I've done my level best to
balance the thing -- it's better than it was, in that it no longer terrifies me to run it on high speed, but it's still not right (22g of weight on a single blade tip seems excessive). The wobble makes a noise somewhere in the mounting hardware, which is not so good with a bedroom ceiling fan. SWMBO does not approve. So, any opinions on pulling the fan down and taking it to the workbench to maybe get it balanced better? I know the runout is pretty far from OK, and that's hard to fix right while it's still dangling from the ceiling. It also seems that static balancing might be a lot easier with the fan temporarily mounted to a vertical surface. Thanks, -Scott |
