Vibration is the problem that each and every person owning a table saw must face and conquer. Some persons prefer ignoring this problem and hoping that the issue will go away on its own.
However, the end result is that the device vibrates to such an extent that it is next to impossible to use the same for even the simplest cutting task. Remember, dimensions are very important to manufacture the right furniture.
Table Saw Tools
It does not matter whether you are preparing a simple table or a shelf. You must have a keen lookout for the right size and you should cut the wood in such a manner that wastage is less and utilization is maximum.
In such a scenario, if you get a jagged or uneven cut and if you have to spend hours using a hand saw to manually fit the wood into shape, it does not make any sense to invest money in the table saw.
The smartest option is to find ways to reduce vibration so that you get the most precise cut possible. You must understand that there is no part of the table saw which vibrates except for the motor. As long as the belts and the pulley are oiled properly, the vibration of the motor should not be passed on to the blade.
Hence, if you make sure that the motor is isolated from the structure of the table saw, you can reduce the problem of vibrations to a large extent. Secondly, you can make sure that vibration dampening material is used to block the movement of vibrations from the motor to the device or the body of the table saw.
Thirdly, you should check whether the motor is a universally criticized for having this problem or whether you have fitted or installed it wrongly. Sometimes, using the wrong belt on the pulley is sufficient to lead to vibrations. You should also take a look at your electrical supply to ensure that this is not a factor that is causing problems and leading to vibration.
Finally, you should check the size of the blade and determine whether the level of work and capacity that you are undertaking is within the technical specifications of the table saw.
Overloading the motor is often a reason for the increasing vibrations. Further, poor maintenance can also be a factor. You should consider all these points and choose the best possible solution to reduce vibrations.
