Saw vibration fix

[Wichman]

So, my Hegner purrs like a kitten with just a blade, but when cutting it can get some vibration, not enough to mess with the magnifier light attached to the saw. The saw was bolted to the floor with a foam floor mat for padding.

A little aside. I'd have problems with my washing machine walking off the leveling block, a couple of years ago I used a worn out sanding sponge for a block and haven't had a problem since.

Last night, because I had to move the saw anyway, I set each of the legs on their own pad. Much less vibration. The sanding blocks roughness keeps the blocks from walking on both the floor and the legs. Only time will tell if this is a long term fix, but I wanted to share the idea.

I have some anti-vibration pads under my Excelsior.  Made a difference.
