Re: FB510 Vibration

Bill, if the wheel stopped at 12 a few times, I doubt the wheel is the main cause.? I don't think a magnet will stay in place when under power and that could wreck your blade if it is thrown off.? Can you feel any dimples on the back of the wheel that would indicate balancing?? My old ( 1936 ) Oliver had a couple of screws with lead washers on it for balance.? It is a little out now but that is only evident as it starts or slows.? At speed it levels out.? My Yates is totally free of any vibration but that is newer ( 1938 ).? Dave

I spun the top wheel 13 times. 10 times it came to rest at 5-6-7 o¡¯clock. 3 times it stopped at 12. How much weight and what type of weight would I use??

Ran the motor alone, minimal vibration, not ?really smooth.?

This saw is sitting on the mobility device. I need to try it on a solid base tomorrow. That should help some.?

Adjusting the guides after the knob is tightened doesn¡¯t work? Is the guide parallel ?to the blade??

Jay,

I am not sure what you mean about the upper guide clamp.

What I found is over-tightening the knob in the picture below pushes the steel guide with the attached ceramic guide to the left, which pushes the blade to the left. So I make sure not to overtighten the knob.?

After changing the wheel, bearings, tire, etc... the only thing that improved the vibration was to not tighten the upper guide clamp.? The recorded video posted was with the clamp tight. ? It is far less when you loosen the screw. ? The tech said that he would check for this on the one they had in the shop and later responded that it was the same. ??

The performance is barely acceptable and will live it for the time being.? It is a good thing I have a drum sander.?

I am glad to hear that you do not have the problem, I wish I could figure out the problem. ? The technician and I worked on the bandsaw for 8 hours, no success.
