I just got my new General International 50-270 (3HP 220V) table saw set up (a big thanks to all that helped me make this purchase!) and I have a few questions with regard to motor vibration.

My saw has some pretty good vibration on startup and especially shutdown. During normal operation it is very smooth. I did a little research on this and even called tech support at General. They told me that it was perfectly normal and is due to the torque the motor puts out. I have checked the pulley's, belt, arbour and blade and everything feels very smooth (no play / wobble anywhere).

I've seen many videos of successful nickel tests (including startup / shutdown) and there's just no way mine would pass this on start / stop. I thought I would put my mind at ease and post here as a double check.

Here is a video demonstrating the vibration.

Is this something I need to worry about?

Thanks!
