I'm Such A Dork LOL

[kmmcrafts]

Okay the other day I mentioned in one of the Pegas topics about my Excalibur is already making noises and vibrating again after I greased the bearings and all I had it running so smooth.. It turns out it still runs very smooth.. A while back I put a 2 x 4 under the back legs of the stand.. I totally forgot about this.. and it turns out the vibration and the bad knocking sounds was the stand was either knocked off or just over time vibrated enough to have the legs barely on that 2x4.. I took the 2x4 completely out and the saw runs just as I had it tuned to run after putting it back together..  Funny how that sound resonated through the machine and made it sound like it was coming from the back motor linkage area..

Be thankful you found it before tearing the machine apart. Good save Kev.

Yes I agree with that..

I wonder if it vibrated off, or maybe it is more likely that you nudged it a few times during the rebuild.  The back legs on mine sits on a 2x4 and has not budged at all.  If nothing else take the rubber feet off the legs and let them sit and bite into the wood.

Good to find the issue with having to take it apart.

Kevin, when I built the stand for my EX, I incorporated a hinged table top so that I can put a block under it and raise/lower the saw to whatever angle suits me. Every once in a while, the block seems to self adjust and it gets a tad off kilter. When it happens, I get a droning sound out of the saw that must be similar to what you heard. After I straighten up my block, it goes away. I'm going to make the block permanent one of these days. It's always something.
