<div id="m_7505207613075030098yiv3983745344">
<div>Get a bubble balancer from Harbor Fright. Use a regular wheel weight placed on the big fin to get it balanced. Try different weights to find the right one. Then slice off a similar size from the large fin on the opposite side of the drum using an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. No “machining”.  No grinding. This will NOT affect the structural integrity of the drum or its ability to dissipate heat as some have suggested.
