just to let you guys know, balancing is done by a mass located at a certain distance from the center of rotation. The corresponding units are oz-in. in this case.

a 50oz-in counterbalance flywheel would have the same effect with 1oz located at 50inches away from its center as it would with 50oz at 1inch away, theoretically anyway

sorry, I'll stop being a tool now
