ok, I'm pretty sure that I understand that, but on the basis of "there
are no stupid questions", I've had both "side to side" movement and

adjustment).. are these both flutter, or are we talking something
else?

Side to Side. When my blades flutter, you can actually hear them slapping
the sides of the return channel on the left. Pretty loud. It usually
goes away with a turn or two of the tension knob.



BTW: I'm on my way to the saw shop to replace the blade that I broke
last night, trying to make it flutter.. lol


I gave up on the Suffolk Saw flutter approach. I could never find the
flutter spot. In the end, I end up tensioning the blades to the saw's
gauge marks.
Thanks, Patrick... I've only had what you describe as flutter once, and it was
(as usual) stupidity on my part... I put a 5/8 blade on and was thinking 3/8
when I set the tension...

I spent a few hours cleaning and setting up the BS yesterday... added cool
blocks and a new blade..
Set it on the line for it's size and starting cutting bowl blanks, and my wife
asked what was wrong with the BS.. it was so much quieter that she thought that
it was messed up..lol
