Default Re: Balancing

What Pete says! For me it doesn't need explanation, it's intuition. Balanced rotating masses need to weigh the same on all sides. This prevents the centers of shafts (whipping) from moving off axis. This may not sound like much until the bearings that support the shaft begin to wear excessively. Then it all comes together!
