I've been grinding with two Bader contact wheels for about a year now. I've always had to adjust tracking to get the edge of the belt even with the edge of the wheel to do the plunge grinds sharply and what not. I just assumed the belts I was buying were a little wider than 2" and thats why I had to mess with the tracking all the time. Well, I decided to check yesterday. I measured the width of the contact wheels and they are almost an 1/8" shy of 2" wide.
Anyone else have a Bader contact wheel thats supposed to be 2" wide and isn't?? I'd like to know if this is normal or if I got undersized wheels.I sure wish I'd thought to check em right after I bought em. Woulda saved alot of time messing with the belt tracking.

I just measured all 5 of my Bader wheels and not a one was 2" wide . Most measured 1.97 to 1.98 inches wide. Hope this helps.
