Oak 2 inch machine wheel has a spot where it is hard to turn every 5th item sold.

I have put Vaseline, and sprayed lubricant, still hard to turn every 5th item, the wheel is rubbing too hard against the metal on the side, any suggestions?

Replace the wheel.

I had a similar problem, and the way I fixed mine was instead of tightening the lock all the way back it off an 1/8 to 1/4 turn and see if that don't work.I haven't had a problem since.
