Pardon my lack of knowledge here, this is my first 'real' piece of woodworking equipement. I spent a better part of my weekend setting up my new General Int. 50-185. I'm still not 100% happy with the straightness of one of the wings but I had to push on. I mounted the motor and fired it up and was extremely pleased at how quiet it is. I was also suprised at how little vibration I felt (maybe my expectations were to low ;-). But when I shut it off I was concerned that when the motor finally went to stop spinning it seemed to bounc quite a bit. This made me think back to how I had set it up. It seems like the motor is essentially hanging off the saw by the pully/belt. Is that really installed correctly? The manual is probably good for an experienced person but just isn't detailed enough for me. Seems like a lot of weight pulling on it.
If I have installed it correctly, will the bouncing be fixed by better aligning the pulleys and perhaps a link belt?
Thanks
