Jeff,
I have the standard woodcarving profile wheel and the 120 option with extension  on my machine. The amount of wobble seems excessive .This is  especially true on whichever wheel I mount at the far end of the extension. While it is not really a hindrence with flatter gouges, it is anoying  with small tools, deep gouges and fluters, and, small v-tools. Any suggestions ?joe

Try placing an SAE shim washer between the two stub shafts. You can find them at a good hardware store.  An SAE washer is ground perfectly flat.
