I need help trying to rid my bandsaw of vibration. Really vibration is too kind of a term, my saw has what I would call a severe shuddering! If you'll entertain me I will attempt to link to a few videos of the saw running. They're less than a minute total. This is running with a brand new 3/4" wood slicer blade. As you can see I'm so far from even attempting a nickel test it's crazy!

Here's what I've done so far:
-Replaced both tires. No difference at all.
-Replaced original belt with new "link belt". This helped a fair amount with the vibration and the saw is much quieter.
-Took saw off mobile base and set on concrete and leveled. This helped as well.
However the videos show how much vibration I'm getting now. I think the problem must be with the upper wheel but I don't know what to do about it or how to diagnose it. Without a blade on the saw runs fine. Just motor, minimal vibration. Motor and lower wheel, minimal vibration. Put any blade on and all hell break lose!
I've waited so long to deal with this there isn't any warranty left on the saw. I wold appreciate any help you can give. I'm about out of aces and I'd really like to get this thing running so i can use it to it's potential.
Thanks!
