Heavy way to lose vibrations?

[jamiecrawford]

Just found this thread on reddit, dealing with countering vibration. There's a hyperlink to a picture, below the second large block of text. It's basically a wooden box full of sand, with a 'floating' deck for the saw. Think it's worth a shot?

It'd almost certainly do the job but if your vibrations are bad enough to warrant doing that you might be better off with a different saw.

I remember caravanning and it seemed everyone was getting stabilisers between the car and the caravan. My argument was that if it needed a stabiliser then there was something wrong that needed fixing either speed too fast, poorly loaded or too a heavy a caravan for the car.

If it vibrates get rid of it, i did sold the motor and scraped the rest.

If you stop vibration by just clamping something down solidly or adding bulk weight without balancing the cause then sooner or later something that is taking the initial out of balance loads is going to wear out or fail.

Might be a linkage, might be a bearing, even a major component, just depends upon how over engineered the design loads were calculated or not as the case may be.
