recently my 10″ delta table saw has developed a lot of vibration when i turn it off. Have checked the blade alignment with my dial indicator and is right on. The arbor seems ok and have tried a link belt. It still cuts great but i keep thinking its going to shake something loose. Any ideas as what else to do or what to look for?

All that I can think of is pulley alignment, though that would likely cause vibration throughout use as well.

Hello Elenzwood,
Have a look at the V belt if it is damaged.
That can cause sometimes vibrations.
Cheerio Bernhard.
That was the first thing that came to my mind, but OP typed: "The arbor seems ok and have tried a link belt."forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
has developed a lot of vibration when i turn it off.
I DO NOT have a Delta.. My Ridgid saw (not junk as some seem to think)
will do that on occasion.. I really do not know why! But "I THINK" it has something to do with DUST collected on the belt/pulleys during a cut.
I could be very wrong.. However, I'm hardly ever right either! :>)
Maybe.. as the blade heats heats up and warps a 'bit' during a HARD cut?
All I know is if it does NOT do it all the time.. Just sometimes...
As in... I have no real answer for you.. Just what I have experienced.
I'd say something external if it does not happen all the time..
I find it very annoying though!
Bent arbor shaft,or bearings, pitch build up on blade,debris between blade and washer,nut, missing tooth,pulleys out of balance
When I was doing tech repair work on the road, I would occasionally get questions about a vibration when the saw was shutting down. Typically it the loose set screw on the arbor pulley and after awhile it destroys the arbor and pulley if not caught in time.

Never looked at the pulley. Will check it out in the morning . I hope the shaft hasn't been damaged Its been bugging for a couple of weeks. I appreciate your taking time to respond.
Am in the middle of making a desk for my granddaughter and can't work without my tablesaw.
Thanks
