Try the quarter, dime and nickel test. Put them standing on edge and see if any/which falls over. That would give us something to try on individual machines.

that would mean anything except the saw was abused) and multiple users
(again the saw was beat).

Is the riving knife the only evidence of vibration? If so, it may just be a
harmonic and can be stopped by changing its mounting position. Try to raise
or lower it or move the mount toward or away from the blade.
Normally spinning machines will hit harmonic speeds, sometimes multiples, as
they coast to a stop. Unfortunately, Felders with vfd brakes stop too fast
to see this. My 3400 rpm bench grinder jumps around at about 1000 rmp as it
coasts down but runs smoothly before and after. Side story, I sold a 400hp,
1200 rpm hammer hog to a chip mill in Port Angeles, WA. This is a big
garbage disposal machine for wood waste like bark and other log yard trash.
It ran smooth as glass except there was a catwalk handrail about 30' away on
the same support structure that vibrated like crazy to the point it cracked
the welds. They fixed the welds and added a 10 lb weight. Changing the
mass solve the problem.

Does anyone else experience this amount of vibration when their saw is
running? This is a 2019 k700. Please post video of same if possible. Thanks!
