Ah ha! Thanks, Leo. That gives me a methodology for checking things.
Much appreciated,
Jeff

Jeff,
The "vibration issue" is kinda tricky. The frequency of the vibration is
a clue.
I would start without the drive belt. Run the motor... vibration gone?
Install the belt, remove the blade... vibration gone? Install the blade,
etc. This way, you can tell where to start looking for causes.
One thing I have found is that the side rollers on the the blade guides
have to be set to the correct clearance of the blade. If the vibration
occurs once every cycle of the blade, check the clearance of the rollers
at the "joint" of the blade. This can be thicker than the blade width
and cause the saw to "buck" and sometimes stall the saw.
Hope this helps,
Leo (pearland, tx)
