Most guys on the job can't ture a saw with a damn, or they just simply don't understand it. I started out with a junk saw, Grizzle contractor saw . I upgraded the belt to "link-belt" to reduce vibration, built my own fence (can't afford a uni-fence or Besemeyer)with a piece of uni-strut and a big 4'x4" alum tube for stability. I can stand a nickle on its edge with a good blade running. Blade and that belt makes all the differences in the world. A out or true blade is going to vibrate like hell. No stabilizer will help. Commercial blade are thicker, but can take heat much better then thin kerf blades. People rip 8/4 oak with a 1 hp contractor saw with a cross cut blade on there are asking for it. I don't blame them for it, because they simply just don't know.
