boss g21 bearing noise?

[donbeezy]

never inspected mine that closely for shavings. i was only concerned when a bearing noise would come into play.

Can`t really orient myself with the pic. I think the groove you`re looking at is just the inner race. Been wrong before.

Well I goofed I was looking at the inside of the polisher wrong, but the metal shavings still concern me a bit.

Can`t blame you for wondering, the shavings have to come from somewhere. That said, I don`t know the order of the machining process and perhaps even the shaft is threaded after it is assembled, who knows. Just so we`re clear, I doubt this example is actually the case but perhaps the counter weight screws holes are threaded late in the assembly process or something else simple and non-problematic. I recieved my G15 a couple of weeks back. It sounded as I would expect it to sound.

I am also wondering if I would have been better off ordering the G15 since I am more of an enthusiast (I have a flex 3401, PC, G110V2 with multiple backing plate sizes and pads). I did order the 5" backing plate. You are probably right about the counterweight being installed after. I will just wait to here back and see what Vega says.

Thank you for your help.
