Can the black wheel guards be removed for more freedom with a buffing wheel?

Yes, but you will loose the eye guard with built in light, unless you get creative.

Looks like the outer part of the guard & the surrounding part can be removed, but not the inside part.

I see no reason why not ,just leave the wheels off but find some form of cap to replace the wheels,you don't want to have your floor scrape up

I don't think so- it there a quick release on the rear wheel? You would have to be able to remove the skewer from the rear wheel to replace with the one included. I had an old 10 speed with a quick release and we still had to modifiy with washers because it was not the standard size for newer wheels.

The wheels do not come out if the unit is picked up. The castors actually "snap" in place when pushed hard enough. I don't know if the castors can be removed.

The manual suggests that you don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The biggest concern would be whether the wheel will sit flat when you turn it over onto the leather. If you needed too, you could trim it back so that the leather was not in the spindle clamping area.Cheers

Not that I am aware of. Considering what the trim wheels are doing, it seems highly unlikely that this is possible. Sorry!

Yes, I suppose you could if you had the correct size bushings and an extender shaft to allow the selected buffing wheel to clear the grinder body... I'm not sure why you would use it this way instead of mounting the system on your lathe though... I use the system with all three wheels mounted on the included shaft quite often and it only takes a few moments to mount/unmount it from the lathe. Good luck and safe turning to you!

Kind of. They have a mechanism to lock, but it doesn't really do the trick too well. The wheels honestly aren't that great. One of mine broke clean off. It stays pretty immobile, but can shift if bumped hard enough.

Never had to remove mine. It can be done because I installed mine backwards in the beginning. Two little clips that you pull out or press in along the tracks.

The minimum width is 21" and that is from the guard on the front. The wheels are actually 17 3/4" wide. So I don't know if the guard can be altered or removed but I am sure no manufacturer would recommend that. My husband loves this machine.

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

Yes you can remove the wheel for cleaning or to grease it so it wont squeak.

Yes. They fit snugly, so you needn't worry about them falling off; however, if you want to remove them, a firm tug will dislodge the wheels. I love mine, for what it's worth.

Yes you can! It takes a little bit of the paint off but from a distance the wheels still look really good.

the wheel, the hide away, and the pad itself are three different things connected to each other. so yes you can leave the wheel off

Yes. It looks like there are four screws on each caster, that can be taken off, but they came pre-installed.

No, but you can swap out your current sensors. These wheels are TPMS compatible and we have them available.
