Let's start by taking a look at the hardware on your saw. Are all the nuts
and bolts tight? Is the blade flat and true? Check the arbor. Grab it
and try to move it up and down. How much does it move?

Direct Drive or belt? If belt driven, is the tension adjusted properly?
Are the pulleys in line?

I would nix the hanging circular saw. Hold the saw and use a straight
edge to guide the saw.

Put on a link belt... Then let us know if you still have vibration.

Hi Puckdropper the saw is the Ridgid R4510 direct drive I shall check nuts
and bolts arbor and remove blade to check for (flatness) if that is a word.

And how old and ratty is the belt??? I've seen some really NASTY table
saws transformed into pretty decent saws by simply replacing the 30
year old excuse for a belt.

Nobody, it's just Leon being Leon of reacting instead of reading first.

Check for missing teeth, too.

Flatness could be called runout or warpage.

Best check the base too. There's quite a few moving parts there, and they
could have loosened up over time.

Do you have the manual? Ridgid manuals are really good about explaining
the normal adjustments a tool may need.

One more suggestion. If you need weight/inertia, think sandbag
instead of concrete. If it ever comes loose and lands on your toe you
will know one reason why.
