The answer to the clunk noise when powering down is in the belts and belt tension. New belts tensioned up and the noise pretty much goes away. There is a point in the slowing down where the length of the belt and the harmonic come together and there is a vibration in the belts. I did replace the bearings in the arbor ($8.00 each) and the belts ($9.00 each) and we are good to go. A very easy saw to work on. The arbor comes out as an assembly and the belt tensioning is a snap, not hard to get at, at all.
