Is vibration really an issue with a heavy cast iron top?
I'm asking.


Absolutely! Stock belts and pulleys on contractor saws can cause a lot of
vibration. Hence the belt and pulley kits that are offered as aftermarket.
Even the better cabinet saw makers are going from the 3 belt set up to the
serpentine automotive type belts as they don't take a set shape.


Isn't the obvious solution, rather than get a saw with a 300lb top to
dampen vibration, simply upgrade the belt and maybe add a machined pulley?
