14" SE bandsaw, using a 1" resaw blade




Willing to bet that is the issue right there

I expect you are flutter tensioning as well.

Acctually, just have now resolved it. Laguna called, more tension on drive belt, adjusted motor/drive belt pulley.
That 1"resaw blade... excellent

checked balance, wheels & drive belt fine.


Loosen the drive belt. Make it floppy loose, so it just turns the wheel (no blade). See if it still vibrates. Take the belt off. See if the motor vibrates. Check the tightness of both sheaves to their shafts.

That's weird. Your solution wasn't there when my post went up.

And I would still check the sheave to shaft integrity.

Deleting the post when you have solved your own problem is anathema to the sense of sharing and community that makes places like this work.

It's also just weird.
