I had what I felt was too much vibration in the upper wheel housing and a little too noticeable on the table. I tried small wheel weights, didn't help. Ultimately I flipped the upper wheel and it's much better now, go figure.
I guess either I got lucky or tuned it well; I have zero drift when resawing. That was a nice surprise. I have it hooked up to a dedicated wall mount Grizzly dust collector which does quite well, far better than when I had my Fein Turbo II connected to it.
Enjoy the saw. It's very good quality at such a great price point, for you $0 but even at the $545 normally. I was lucky, got it last year when they ran the intro price at $445 which made it a no brainer between an LX and just about anything I could find on Craigslist.
