Mounted the new Jet 18 inch with good "nickel test" for vibration results through entire speed range

[Tallbald]

I mounted the new Jet on 1/4 inch thick rubber washers I cut and glued up from old band saw tires, with another 1/4 inch thick washer on top of the foot. Bolts go through the stand top into 5/16-18 T-nuts and are snugged a bit. Very pleased so far with the saw's performance, but I have so much to learn and practice upon. This saw is a pleasure so far to use during practice. The tilt top stand lets me sort of move sawdust off the table to drop into the slide-out scrap and dust container. I need to come up with a neater, cleaner routing of the cords though. Thank you all for all your encouragement. Don.

That's a good looking saw.  I noticed the wrought iron type of handles on the front and back of your table,, I used those same ones for a BBQ tray.

Ahhhh Hobby Lobby clearance, 12 years ago, thanks to Penny's contribution to our kitchen remodeling! She knew they'd come in handy one day down the road... Don.
