Not so good vibrations


 

Today while I was cutting some O1 stock with my saw in the vertical
position, it was vibrating a fair amount. After doing some checking
(removing blade, removed the v-belt) I find it's the motor. In the
horizontal position it seems to be lessened a bit due to gravity.

Has anyone else had this issue? If so what did you do? I don't
really want to buy a new motor, but that seems to be the thing to
do. Any suggestions?

Can't help - haven't had the guts to try it in the vertical position yet
@;-) Are you saying this isn't a mounting issue?

Well, it could be. However, it occurs to be that something is
unbalanced to cause it to vibrate like that. Hence my wonderings. If
I were to place a rubber spacer between the motor and the casting it
appears it would help a bit with the vibration, however, that's an
interim solution. The vibration is what causes my blade to jump when
cutting in the horizontal position, but I didn't figure that out till
yesterday. In that position it's easier to compensate for (hang a
weight on the end of the casting).
Thanks....I'll look at it more.
