If your wheel was damaged during shipment, I would, like Rupert mentioned, contact UPS, the place where you purchased the unit, and if no joy there, Tormek support. Don't settle for receiving a damaged machine!
The Tormek is not an inexpensive machine and it should not have arrived damaged, let alone damaged enough to affect it's use.
I too would do the above before even thinking about removing a large amount of the wheel. Those things aren't cheap, and that's a lot of the wheel to remove.
I don't have a T8, so I'll let Ken speak to the vibration. I would post your question on the Tormek forums. That question has been discussed there. You are not alone with that issue.
